I use the EDIMAX EW-7811Un that is based on the Realtek RTL8188CUS and it works fine. But I have seen this problem before when I was running a hostapd access point on a laptop. It was hit and miss, so I just stopped using the laptop setup(it was an experiment anyway). With my wireless routers, I've never had a problem. One thing you can check. Make sure that /etc/modprobe.conf has the following line in it. options 8192cu rtw_power_mgnt=0 rtw_enusbss=0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ paul-'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58858 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105018 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
