Hello, I'm not sure who to go to with this. I managed to get everything installed the way I like it on my Dell laptop... including the miniPCI WLAN adapter using the NDIS wrapper for Windows Drivers. It appears to work flawlessly when I am within range of a WAP... but when I am at the office (where there are none)... I occasionally get completely locked up. If I leave it locked up for a minute or so, it dies and reboots itself. I might think it is my wired interface except I can run on it all night at home (WAP is present). Guess I could try disabling my WAP at home and run wired. But its a bit random.... so I could be like that for hours at home. It generally happens 2-3 times in an 8 hour period. Saw it happen once when I manually ran dhclient. If I manually unload the NDIS modules after booting up... It never happens. So I suspect the NDIS wrapper. I realize the work may not be completed on these wrappers... but though maybe if I could let the appropriate folks know... maybe they could fix it before it becomes a real problem. Any help is appreciated. Eric
