Since I've got back to -CURRENT dated 10/09/05, I've had no problems. I've been looking at my logs, and it seems the problems were when the connection switched from DS to OFDM. Thu Oct 20 17:10:56 CDT 2005 (DS/11Mbps) Thu Oct 20 17:11:07 CDT 2005 (OFDM/6Mbps) Thu Oct 20 17:11:43 CDT 2005 (DS/5.5Mbps) Thu Oct 20 17:12:27 CDT 2005 (DS/2Mbps) Thu Oct 20 17:12:31 CDT 2005 (DS/1Mbps) Thu Oct 20 17:12:39 CDT 2005 (OFDM/36Mbps) Thu Oct 20 17:12:47 CDT 2005 (OFDM/24Mbps) Thu Oct 20 17:14:00 CDT 2005 (OFDM/18Mbps) Do you know what those modes are? I'm willing to continue testing but will only have this laptop for three more days, then it's gone for two weeks. -- Regards, Doug
