Ah, on #debian I didn't see or you didn't say that this card had worked with testing before. I still don't know the solution but have a quick idea you might want to check out. cat /proc/interrupts I had an insane problem with a wireless card losing connection when ever anyone logged out of kde or gnome. Drove me nuts. There was in irq conflict and moving the wireless card to a different slot, and removing an unused card fixed the problem. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
