Hello everyone, >From lspci I have a: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01) wireless card. I've had success with getting it to work, with the madwifi drivers, but lately I've noticed that it sometimes works after boot up and sometimes doesn't. After looking in /var/log/messages, I see this: Aug 16 09:00:04 localhost kernel: ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.7: USB 2.0 initialized, EHCI 1.00, driver 10 Dec 2004 Aug 16 09:00:04 localhost kernel: hub 1-0:1.0: USB hub found Aug 16 09:00:04 localhost kernel: hub 1-0:1.0: 6 ports detected Aug 16 09:00:04 localhost kernel: USB Universal Host Controller Interface driver v2.2 Aug 16 09:00:04 localhost kernel: irq 10: nobody cared!

I'm stumped. 1 out of 5 times when I boot up it's like nothing ever happend and my wireless card work perfectly. I haven't upgraded anything and am running kernel-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4. Any ideas what I can do to correct this? Thanks, Kevin -- Kevin Old kevinold@xxxxxxxxx
