Hi list: I usually build custom kernels and work with them without problems. I've been using 2.6.17.x up to and included 2.6.17.13 with bcm43xx without a glitch. With this kernel and using network-manager I get association and dhcpoffer from my router almost instantly.
But then I tried a vanilla 2.6.18, built upon the same config as 2.6.17.x, and I've observed these things: 1) network manager doesn't get an IP at first try (I mean the gnome applet animated graphics), the wireless network is detected but I've to tell network manager 2,3 or 4 times (it depends) to associate with it until it finally does. 2) In this process of network-manager trying to associate with my network the machine some times hangs hard, but... 3) ...still worse: in one case (yesterday) I experimented my first sudden power off since I have this powerbook-G4 12". After restarting, the nvram was reseted (clock was at 1 jan..., fn status key was changed from my preferences, etc...). Apart from these issues with bcm43xx the kernel works ok for me. Has anyone observed this behaviour? Thanks. A. Corbi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
