For some time I had both rtl8187b.ko and rtl8187.ko enabled, and this may have caused a difference somehow. In 2.6.39 (and .38?) rtl8187.ko works fine, so I disabled rtl8187b.ko; earlier kernels are the other way round, so only rtl8187b.ko is enabled. You can adjust the udev rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules to make it wlan0 again; the comments in there might shed light on why it changed. -- Alexandre Oliva, freedom fighter http://FSFLA.org/~lxoliva/ You must be the change you wish to see in the world. -- Gandhi Be Free! -- http://FSFLA.org/ FSF Latin America board member Free Software Evangelist Red Hat Brazil Compiler Engineer _______________________________________________ gNewSense-dev mailing list gNewSense-dev@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-dev
