Yeah, that beast is stubborn unfortunately. That driver is unusable with the additional channels, and I also struggled to convince MCC/Network manager to use the free driver (that unfortunately requires firmware to be loaded and thus manual installation of the firmware-cutter package and manual extraction of the firmware before it can be made usable). > Have I missed doing something, or should they have been picked up in > the usual way? Have you been using that driver before? ciao Christian
