Please re-read the first paragraph you quoted from me in your reply. On an on-topic sidenote: I had a freeze the other day with the 3.8 kernel. So it could likely be a hardware issue. After I accidentially cut the WiFi cable where it goes through the hinge, I installed another netbook's antenna and connected it to the metal foil in the back of the lid. That can't possibly be the culprit, can it? WiFi is working fine, as far as I can tell. --=20 Gru=C3=9F | Greetings | Qapla=E2=80=99 Please do not share anything from, with or about me with any Facebook servi= ce. I hate being bi-polar.
