Carlos, I have the same wifi card on two machines. Similar problem to yours, It appears the card is not being powered on by the LInux drivers setup. Booting to xp allows the card to be powered up as evident by the little lite on the laptop. Have you checked your var/log/messages? Also look at var/log/NetworkManager. Whenever mine fails the message in this one says activation of the card failed. Another thing that might make a difference is to disable the Ipv6 stuff. I eventually gave up and started using a usb wireless with 10db antenna. It uses the Zydas ZD1211 firmware provided by suse. I figured we shouldn't have to reboot to windows to restart the darned network card. Richard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
