Here's the problem. I have an Edimax and a Linksys USB adapter. They both use the rt73usb driver in 2.6.24. I can stop the interface and successfully switch from Edimax to Linksys, but trying to go from Linksys to Edimax says the hardware is not present when trying to start the interface again. Rebooting fixes it. Can anyone make sense of that? - Grant -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
