--=.K0zTpfsxs),WD9 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit First in April, then last month I posted a question why my perfectly good Netgear MA401 wouldn't work in the same setup as a Lucent Orinoco Silver WLAN card when plugged into my Vaio running 5.1-CURRENT. Each card would get recognized upon boot, dmesg looked just fine for both of them, but in the case of the Netgear, DHCP choked on the crypto part, while the Lucent card had no such problems. Miraculously, this has fixed itself. I haven't done anything except occasional kernel rebuilds after cvsup'ing about once in a fortnight. No firmware upgrade, no change to the start_wi0 script or the kernel configuration, nothing at all, really. But all of a sudden (can't say if it was yesterday's build or the one before, unfortunately), the MA401 works without any complaints, and I can finally retire the Lucent card. If anyone has an explanation when and how this happened, I'd be most grateful. If you don't, I'll just continue being happy about it. :) Thanks for the numerous earlier attempts to help me Ulrich Plate --=.K0zTpfsxs),WD9 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/SqJBUOhlBc99YgYRAn7FAJ95nxtq8eLVmLjVApHIA91/iDRCdACg46Hw 1O2RfZaC3G+uOP3oiAgjrrQ= =kazM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=.K0zTpfsxs),WD9--
