The card comes up, then authenticates and tries to get an IP address, but in less than a second after it gets an IP address it crashes with these recurring messages above. Is there a fix, or shall I go for the wl module by Broadcom or even give up and go for the ndiswrapper solution? -- Regards, Mick
