I´d also be happy if this behaviour was somewhat consistent, we all have the very same laptops here in the office (Dell Latitude C600) and the same Xircom´s (RBEM56G-100), but some of them require being in promiscous mode all of the time, some only staying in promiscous mode for about 1 second...It was also the same with my former laptop (some Compaq, same Xircom, IIRC). cheers, &rw -- / Ing.
