hi trapperjohn, Interesting :confused: I wonder when modprobe.conf stopped working. I use a "Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0bda:8176 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188CUS 802.11n WLAN Adapter" that uses the 8192cu firmware, no problems. This may work as a temporary solution: $ sudo sh -c 'echo "0" > /sys/module/8192cu/parameters/rtw_power_mgnt' BTW: In [Beta] mode, there is a [Diagnostics] button on the WIFI Settings page that gives heaps of wifi information. regards Greg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Greg Erskine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7403 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97803 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
