I'm not sure if this is the same issue, but on my poodle, I have to re-insert the wifi card between 3 and 10 times before the system will actually load it up. dmesg shows that the card is detected, but hostap doesnt seem to do anything for the first bunch of times i insert the card. Very frustrating... Marlon _________________________________________________________________ Your chance to win great prizes with Windows Live Mail and Rogers MobileMail.
