Make sure the card is set for CAM (Constant Awake Mode) and it's not trying to constantly power down and back up (many AP's simply don't handle the constant renegotiation very well, and "miss" reconnection attempts). I'm guessing you're using the latest Intel ProSet? The 2200 should certainly not behave that way. If you've checked the power management and still experience the issue, I'll send you another crad to swap for it. You'll at least be able to see if there's a difference between the two. -- Lewis ------------------------------------------------------------ Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLP, CLE Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC Accountants / Network Consultants New York / Northern Virginia www.2rosenthals.com eComStation Consultants www.ecomstation.com Novell Users Int'l www.novell.com/openenterpriseserver Need a managed Wi-Fi hotspot? www.hautspot.com ------------------------------------------------------------ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
