Here's the thing. It can't be a real range issue because it was working perfectly before. I won't be able to narrow it down to a hardware issue until I've experimented with the software side of things right? I have these in package.keywords for this wireless connection: net-wireless/madwifi-driver ~x86 net-wireless/madwifi-tools ~x86 net-wireless/wireless-tools ~x86 sys-apps/baselayout ~x86 app-shells/bash ~x86 sys-libs/readline ~x86 sys-apps/sysvinit ~x86 Should I try removing them and emerge the stable stuff? - Grant > >I have 3 Gentoo systems connected to my wireless network. 2 of them > >have Netgear PCMCIA wireless cards and the third has a PCI card that > >is a Netgear of the same series (if you know what I mean).
