It might be nice to attempt a quick hack to over-ride the country code to see if that helps anything. Also, do you have another ath9k nic that you could use instead to see if the problem happens with multiple nics and/or chipsets? Or can you put your existing NIC into a different computer and see if the problem remains? Thanks, Ben -- Ben Greear Candela Technologies Inc http://www.candelatech.com
