Check out my posts of a coupla days ago: "[SLUG] problem with wireless" I've had very little response to this problem either on the Ubuntu list or here (with due respect with those who tried!). I'm not sure if your problem is the same as mine - I have an Netgear/atheros card - but so far after applying my kludge-fix, mine has stayed stable for three days through about 8 re-boots. Email off list if want to talk further. David. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
