Most likely a kernel/driver issue. I face similar problems with several of my hardware components and I just stay on 2-3 yr old distributions. May be if we compile the kernel/modules from older versions and install it with the newer distributions, it might work. On a side note, this kinda indicates that MS is no longer the only one who drops support for older hardware on releasing a newer version. -- 0 _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
