I grepped for 'firm' and nothing came up. It looks like these are the entries related to the nic: Aug 22 17:07:28 localhost kernel: prism2usb_init: prism2_usb.o:0.2.1-pre26 Load ed Aug 22 17:07:28 localhost kernel: prism2usb_init: dev_info is:prism2_usb Aug 22 17:07:28 localhost kernel: usbcore: registered new driver prism2_usb When I unplug the nic, then put it back in, it doesn't light up anymore. It does register in usbview, but messages says: Aug 22 21:08:52 tecra kernel: usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3 Aug 22 21:08:52 tecra netplugd[2152]: wlan0: ignoring event Aug 22 21:08:52 tecra hal.hotplug[5419]: DEVPATH is not set Once it seems permanently out of commission, I try mcc again, and the console window reports this in the background: [EMAIL PROTECTED] log]# Shutting Down WLAN Devices: Shutting Down WLAN Devices: message=lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=disable resultcode=success error reading information on service tmdns: No such file or directory ] Does any of this provide any useful clues?
