At this point, I can't even convince it to play nice with the kernel. Plugging in the card causes kernel lockups and requires a pull out the battery reset. Until I do, nothing responds to the keyboard or mouse, and all the LEDs blink simultaneously like the sign on a cheap hotel. The 'generic' card didn't do this; it just refused to connect. I know how to remove the drivers from ndiswrapper to start over, but don't know how to clean out any modules it may have created when I did 'ndiswrapper -m'. > > I'll let you know what I find when I try the older laptop again. -- _____________________________________________________________ Art Alexion PGP fingerprint: 52A4 B10C AA73 096F A661 92D2 3B65 8EAC ACC5 BA7A Keyserver: hkp://subkeys.pgp.net The attachment - signature.asc - is my electronic signature; no need for alarm.
