What other programs cause similar behaviour? (like zeroconf) I been wrestling with my wireless card and it keeps dropping my connection after a while. i thought it was my driver, but it is probably something like zeroconf (and I will check when I get out of work),
What is it about the ifconfig listing that gives it away as running zeroconf?
