Have you moved from the default 386 kernel to the 686 kernel? When I installed and did that, I had things like wireless break. The trick is to make sure you have the linux-restricted-modules installed for the kernel you are running. When you install the 686 kernel, it doesn't grab that package by default. Just a shot in the dark, but that's the first thing I would try. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
