I might be wrong, but my first inclination would be to believe the driver you have installed is not the one that works with your particular hardware. Let's also see: Code: lspci -n If you can't get this solved, the Madwifi driver for Atheros based cards is very easy to install and gives rock solid performance. __________________ CRUX 2.5 + IceWM Registered:#371367 New Members: click here

Great! It's always satisfying to hear someone got their hardware working under Linux.
