Hello! I guess you would follow a few steps for starters: Step 1: check hardware switch (I gotta ask, good habit) Step 2: Did you install the driver manually, as in not through the repository? Step 3: Have you upgraded the Kernel recently? If the answers to steps 2 and 3 are yes then you driver is toast and needs to be reinstalled however you did that in the first place. Check that and we can work from there, I won't bog your little screen down :P -Ben _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
