the ipw3945 driver is a mess imho. Lockup at boot if killswitch is on, sometimes it starts-up fine after hibernate other times I have to reload the driver and network to get it to connect - I have tried compiling the latest version - but still issues. When it works it also drops the wireless link and reconnects if I push it to hard - like watching an AVI etc. (this is on m Lat D820) E-Mail disclaimer: http://www.sunspace.co.za/emaildisclaimer.htm -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
