Help ? Looks like your card has the same chip set at my D-Link DWL-G650. Probably the first thing to check is the signal strength you are getting from the access point. Run: iwlist scan Report back the results, looking for the signal level, signal, and noise levels. How far are you from the access point? That can affect the signal strength. Also what kind of walls are between you and the access point? Actually since you indicated a different card works well it could just be the prism54 card. Which brand is it? Is there anyway you can confirm that the antenna inside it is hooked up? Ran into an HP laptop once that had very poor wireless performance. Found that the internal wireless card did not have the antenna hooked up. After that was fixed it worked just fine. Looks like I have a version of prism54 driver from back in May of this year. They probably have newer versions out at this point. Not sure how to get a version number out of the running driver. -- Scot L. Harris webid@xxxxxxxxxx This place just isn't big enough for all of us.
