I haven't updated any firmware on the card, in windows or otherwise. I looked on the site a couple of days ago and there is no firmware update that I could find. If you know of one I would be happy to try it out and report back. The card is listed in pcmcia.conf so I assume it worked at one time for someone. I also checked and the card is wi-fi compliant, so it should work from my understanding. either way it works in windows so the base funtionality is operational and should be in BSD as well. The compliancy is supposed to assure that correct? Am I missing something here? I will probably fail back to 4.6 to see if this issue exists in it, but from the achives I have been seeing it is suggested I may have the same problem with the locking/freezing issue as well. I don't look forward to this and was hoping for imput to avoid it. I have since gone back and added all the wicontol commands to my script that covered the default settings that I wasn't setting previosly and set them manually just in case I missed something. Now after following this list and questions I am seeing the I may not be the only one having this problem. I do also have the card removal problem that everyone else seems to have. That is why I was wondering if they are related. It takes up to 40 seconds for the OS to realise I have pulled the card. and a good 10-30 second to realise I put it back in and get it running. That doesn't seem to point to a firmware problem to me. Is there some way to pull up a log with what is going on with the card? wicontrol -C isn't much use. Hopefully I have done my homework here. If I missed something or need to try something let me know. I need to get this fixed. > In message: <1052.192.168.0.60.1036079821.squirrel@new.host.name> > "Lawrence Wickline" writes: > : If what you say is true then it is simply a driver issue and can be : > corrected.
