Mathew, all, i have found the source of the problem: If i plug a cable into my wired NIC, my wireless card will be blocked. That's how it works, i have never seen such things before, and i can't find special BIOS option to change this strange behavior. Laptop model is HP 625. I think this can be marked as "resolved" :-) -- Cheers, Roman V.Leon. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
