I did not reach that conclusion based on the mismatch message alone, but by looking at what is supposed to happen *after* that mismatch message, and that's when I saw that comment in the code. That comment is in the part of the zd1211rw driver for handling or not-handling mismatches. It seems that *some* mismatches are handled, but *some* mismatches are intentionally not handled because they are considered too ugly. Maybe the person who wrote that comment should come forward and explain what he meant when he wrote it (assuming that person is still on the list), and clarify that comment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards: VOTE NOW!
