I'm running BenH's 2.4.6 from about a week ago, and I get similar behavior... *eventually* I find the destination and connect or whatever, but it takes quite a few seconds. Removing the driver stack (airport, orinoco, hermes) and reinserting the modules fixes the problem for me... Until I suspend and resume a few times, at which point I'll have to remove/reinsert again. I know that's not a *fix*, but it should get you working again in the meantime. :-) Ethan --=20 If I've told you once, I've told you once And once is all that you needed. -- The Refreshments, "Carefree" --azLHFNyN32YCQGCU Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline --azLHFNyN32YCQGCU-- ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
