Well, indeed. ;) You should throw your broken hw away, if it causes harmful interference. It's as simple as that. Problem solved. :) Hardware simply often _is_ crap and causes harmful interference. One example being an S3 video card which caused a parport extender card to output extremely crappy signals. I simply bought a new video adapter and all interference problems disappeared. Often such interference doesn't matter. I bet the parport adapter still worked with most common parport devices. But I had a milling machine connected to it which moved a tiny bit on each interference storm. So I could move the joints with glxgears. ;) So I can certainly imagine that interference can break a wireless adapter completely. In fact, I do own a motherboard where 90% of broadcom wireless NICs fail to work on. It clearly is caused by interference, because they work fine if I put a shielding extender between the board and the NIC. -- Greetings, Michael. _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
