Re: airport stops working on debian side of computer
You mght try blacklisting bcm43xx. Do a google for Linksys WMP54GS running on Debian.

Also it appears that you must have ndiswrapper installed along with wireless-tools . On Sat, Sep 20, 2008 at 2:45 AM, Benjamin Hoffman [EMAIL PROTECTED]wrote: You mght try blacklisting bcm43xx.

Could you please include the output of dmesg (only relevant parts), ifconfig -a and iwconfig. The wlan0_rename above you mention could indicate that something with persistent device name rules of udev could be wrong. You could try to delete /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and reboot. After that all your network devices will have new persistent names assigned by udev. What mechanism do you use to configure your wlan (/etc/network/interfaces, network-manager, ...)? Are you using any kind of encription on the wireless link? In general your card should be well supported by the b43 kernel module. So I suspect you have an error in your configuration. Gaudenz -- Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again.

Re: airport stops working on debian side of computer
I had the same problem on an old laptop recently. I had to blacklist hostap, hostap_cs drivers. Now I show one device and its working well again. If you need more instruction I'll post them when I get to the shop and find my notes.
