I noted some place that Intel chipsets might hate ndiswrapper so I tried my dongle in a USB 1.1 hub. Same result. Of course I could go out and buy another D-Link G122, but this SiS163 powered thing used to work reliably, I think as recently as the Arch 2.6.13 kernel. I set about rolling my own kernel, downloaded the source and patches, and it just hung when I went to apply the first patch. Ho Hum. That is another problem. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
