If I find some spare time, I'll try it out, otherwise I'll just continue to use the wired connection on my desk and give it a new try as soon as kernel 2.6.34 is released (and packaged for debian for conveniance ;-). I'll report back in any case. Best regards from Germany, Ferdinand ___________________________________________________________ GRATIS für alle WEB.DE-Nutzer: Die maxdome Movie-FLAT!
