A laptop of a friend, which worked always with wifi until 3.0.4 , stopped to work when installing 3.1-rc9 , after re-installing 3.0.4 wifi returned to work. I think it was a packard-bell laptop. I can't test this better because he gone with his laptop; perhaps next week he'll visit me again. Since 2.6.38 his laptop worked with my wifi. This can be a regression in the wifi drivers, or because of a slightly changed config. Anyway the diff of config is enclosed. w.landgraf --- Professional hosting for everyone - http://www.host.ru
