ACK ppl i'm working on a patch for this, i'll let you know asap so you can try it ;-) -- GPG ID: 0xD21DB2DB As you read this post global entropy rises. Have Fun ;-) Nick _______________________________________________ ath5k-devel mailing list ath5k-devel@lists.ath5k.org https://lists.ath5k.org/mailman/listinfo/ath5k-devel
