If I switch it on and run wpa_supplicant to connect on wlan1(USB wired) I get this from rfkill: 0: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 3: hci0: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no AND I'm still not connecting on wlan1. I've even tried ndiswrapper with the windoze driver which loads pe rfectly, but I still get the same output: Listening on LPF/wlan0/00:27:10:c9:9f:58 Sending on LPF/wlan0/00:27:10:c9:9f:58 Listening on LPF/wlan1/00:1a:ef:25:0a:56 Sending on LPF/wlan1/00:1a:ef:25:0a:56 Sending on Socket/fallback DHCPDISCOVER on wlan1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 5 receive_packet failed on wlan0: Network is down DHCPREQUEST on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 send_packet: Network is down DHCPDISCOVER on wlan1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 13 DHCPREQUEST on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 receive_packet failed on wlan0: Network is down receive_packet failed on wlan0: Network is down receive_packet failed on wlan0: Network is down receive_packet failed on wlan0: Network is down DHCPDISCOVER on wlan1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 20 DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8 DHCPOFFER from 192.168.1.254 DHCPREQUEST on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 DHCPACK from 192.168.1.254 SIOCADDRT: File exists bound to 192.168.1.68 -- r enewal in 41637 seconds. thanks MAC
