I'm currently using a Nova-T 500 with no major issues. I'm running Gentoo 64 bits, kernel 2.6.23-r3 (lastest) and HG drivers (obtained last week, when I fully reinstalled the system). Previously I was using Sabayon 32 bits, same kernel, etc... and everything was also ok. I still suffer very ocasional disconnects, but they are really rare. I also sometimes get I2C errors in dmesg, but they don't seem to cause any issues. I don't know what can be the reason of your problems. As far as I know, the disconnects are somehow related to bad receiving quality, which cause the firmware on the card to block. I'm not sure, though. The driver development for this card seems to be stopped, right now. Since last firmware update (1.10) ther has been no news. Best regards, Eduard
