I'm not sure how to proceed from here. Your problem might be due to broken hardware, see Rob Owens's message earlier in this thread: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2009/07/msg00478.html If you cannot get a warranty replacement then you should consider buying a cheap and well-supported USB or PCMCIA wireless device, as Rob also suggested; this approach is often preferable to endless fighting with flaky built-in hardware. (The possibility of hardware failure was the main reason why I kept nagging about trying the device under Windows, to have an independent test under an OS that is "officially supported" by the manufacturer.) -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
