Ken, thanks, I'm aware of that. The problem is that my particular version of the card - BCM4318 - is not completely supported yet. According to this page: http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/?go=devices it is "Unstable (transmission power issues, work in progress)" I haven't tried it in 10.2, but in 10.1 I have tried it with a fresh vanilla kernel, and it didn't work. Ndiswrapper, on the other hand, works very well. Hans -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
