If I put the card in before bootup, it will give the first set of errors that I listed during boot, then will give the "bfe0 timeout" errors after it has finished the boot scripts. So, that method doesn't work either. I haven't tried disabling my ethernet device.. though that's a good idea. How exactly do you do that? I tried "kldunload bfe", where bfe is my nic device, however that doesn't work, since bfe is built into the kernel. I tried syncing my sources and upgrading the kernel again, but something is broken in the sources, and the kernel doesn't compile even a GENERIC kernel. So, is there a way to unload a *part* of the kernel module -- namely bfe? Thanks for the help, it would be great if I could get this working. And it should work.... since it uses the ar5211.sys driver on the windows side, which means Atheros.... regards, Mike >From: Geffy >To: Michael Roberts >Subject: Re: DLink DWL-G650 (h/w ver.
