If upgrading the kernel fixes things, then it does sound like a driver issue. Almost certainly the driver has changed between 2.6.32 and 2.6.35.7. This wouldn't be the first time an update has broken the 5100. It happened once before that a stable point update broke the 5100. I think that was in 2.6.31 or maybe early 2.6.32. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
