I didn't have much luck with the bcm43xx driver do I've been using ndiswrapper for now. Using wpa_supplicant standalone works fine for me. The latest I have from NM is that after connecting everything seems fine for a short while. Say 30 seconds to a minute or so. Then I can't send any more packets even though it seems like I'm still completly connected. The only external symptom I've been able to note is the steep climb in the count of "Invalid misc" as reported by iwconfig that I reported. Thanks for replying. -Brian ----- End forwarded message ----- _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
