I had this same problem for a while, and finally got so frustrated that I bought a new card. The issue for me was using ndiswrapper vs something that is natively supported. The new card is supported by madwifi, and I haven't had a single problem. If you are using a natively supported card already, then I have no clue. Good luck. -- Thanks, Fernando Vilas fvilas at iname.com -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
