Okay it's gotten MUCH worse now. netif can no longer be stopped without a reboot when "wlan0" craps out. (As I mentioned a restart usually fixes things). While trying to stop netif attempts to destroy the wlan0 interface, which fails - which, as it turns out is where the "ioctl: operation not permitted error" error comes from I think. -- Tj Hariharan Email: t...@archlinux.us
