Sometimes it does "lock up" and become unusable after using Kismet or dstumbler (can't remember which one), but my old 550MHz laptop runs one of the 6.0 BETAs...so things may have improved in 6.1 or the upcoming 6.2 if it is a software issue. For general use (surfing/email/IRC/SSH/streaming audio) it works pretty well. Personally I prefer the Netgear or Linksys brands over D-Link. -Mark -- Internet Radio: Party107 (Trance/Electronic) - http://www.party107.com Rock 101.9 The Edge (Rock) - http://www.rock1019.net IRC: MIXXnet IRC Network - irc.mixxnet.net (Nick: MIXX941)
