Sorry Chris, I tried a couple of other boot disks and found a distro that didn't present the problem and that was a bit closer to my Slackware roots. Archlinux. The problem went away immediately and has not returned.
My apologies for my impatience, but this was my primary workstation at home and I needed to update several pieces of software to support my work. I can run some exports so that you can have a comparison, or if you think a live bootdisk would show the same issue (it didn't before). The problem was either with the rt2500pci wireless driver or the nvidia driver... Thanks, WLK On Mon, Jul 30, 2012 at 8:50 PM, Christopher M.
