If you provide me with the needed dumps i'll work on it and give you a tarball to test asap (asap > 10days due to exams ;-( ) !!! One more question: can you plz describe card's behaviour with ath5k ? What error message does it return on reset-failure ? Thanx a lot for the feedback ;-) -- GPG ID: 0xD21DB2DB As you read this post global entropy rises. Have Fun ;-) Nick
