There's always been the minor problem that it suffers one watchdog timer alarm before being successfully configured. With a fixed IP, that's no real problem, but with DHCP, dhclient gets confused by the watchdog and fails consistantly. What the manual calls the "Link Integrity" LED on the dongle stays off until the watchdog timer power cycles the card. If someone with some experience with this driver can shed some light on the problem, dhclient and I would appreciate it. -- M/S 258-5 | 1024-bit PGP fingerprint: | tweten@nas.nasa.gov NASA Ames Research Center | 41 B0 89 0A 8F 94 6C 59 | (650) 604-4416 Moffett Field, CA 94035-1000 | 7C 80 10 20 25 C7 2F E6 | FAX: (650) 604-4377 We each earn what freedom of speech we defend for those who most offend us.
