Sorry, I misinterpreted what you meant. So, to clarify, am I right in saying that you have: - "RT5390R" cards, PCI revision 0502 which all work - "RT5390RL" cards, PCI revision 1502 which work - "RT5390RL" cards, PCI revision 1502 which don't work with the symptoms described above. Ok, so let's look at this a bit closer: the "iw info" diff you provided before makes me think that there is some form of regulatory setting difference between the working and non-working cards. I would guess that this would be visible in the dmesg output, could you boot with a working card, save the dmesg, then boot with a non-working card, save the dmesg, diff them and reply with that diff? I'm guessing that there would be some lines in there about CRDA or regulatory which would be different. Also, what channel is your AP on and what region of the world are you in? (I'm guessing Europe from your email address, but which country specifically) Thanks, -- Julian Calaby Email: julian.calaby@gmail.com Profile: http://www.google.com/profiles/julian.calaby/ .Plan: http://sites.google.com/site/juliancalaby/
