I'm having trouble with my airo card using the later kernel. I'm on a Dell Insprion 4100. No kernel options are provided at boot. kernel-2.6.5-1.358 Works fine. Plug it in, card is recognized, modules load, network scripts do their thing and network comes up. kernel-2.6.6-1.435.2.3 Hangs. Plug it in, /var/log/messages says: <TT> Jul 23 08:57:13 xxx cardmgr[1881]: socket 1: 350 Series Wireless LAN Adapter Jul 23 08:57:13 xxx kernel: cs: memory probe 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff: clean.

At that point, ifconfig hangs, iwconfig hangs. The machine cannot even be shut down nicely, and needs a hard power cycle to get back in the game. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks. --sdk </BODY> </HTML>
