My guess is that the driver for the wireless adapter tries to set up the adapter as well as set up PC to work with it. The driver seems to fail at the adapter setup, so the PC bit fails too. It may be that the Windows sets the adapter properly and this carries over to the next Linux boot. I've seen this same behavior with other wireless and video capture and tuner adapters on Linux. I have pretty much given up on wireless adapters with Linux and save time by using a wireless router plugged into the PC's wired Ethernet port. It saves a lot of grief. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
