I had such a network card on my desktop and now my laptop do= es the=20 same. the laptop is a (smart-battery powered) acer travelmate 4001 WLMi and the= =20 network card is a broadcom (b44) 10/100Mbps. after rejecting the idea, I decided to try the same on another OS... wind= ows. it=20 doesn't buzz while transmiting/receiving at 80Mbps whereas on linux it do= es. one=20 can hear exactly when there is activity and when there isn't. is this a problem? hardware issue? software issue? acpi? plain bad luck? = what is=20 happening here? regards, pedro venda. --=20 Pedro Jo=E3o Lopes Venda email: pjlv-aHmAgkVUFT6Joy8PIJZ9VA@public.gmane.org http://arrakis.dhis.org ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
