Ahh okay, I use the external drivers. I do have chances to test it now, as I got my wireless working again back home. Linksys wrt54g v5 bricked (avoid those!), or so I thought it did... stuck dd-wrt 23 SP 2 on it, and it's working VERY nicely... Hopefully I won't keep having these issues, we'll see... but history says I will. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
