Hi John,
That might be it... my output of lspci shows I 'm using the same
driver. However,I only have problems once and a while when waking up
the laptop from a suspend, I turned auto-suspend off and it 's running
ok for a week now. I 'm not a real linux expert, what is your advice ?
Should I also switch to another driver ? If so, how is that done ?
thanks in advance,
Wim
