I make a habit of sometimes booting with the wireless card in and sometimes plugging it in at some time when I need the internet access. It makes no differance, the blacklisting works. So now I wonder why yours does not. That is why a premission and ownership check I mentioned. I am not that far along on hotplug, perhaps someone else can chime in. When I want to look for "the involved files" in Linux I use: The man pages (usually located near the bottom of the page - also the other commands mentioned in the page). The "locate" command after running a fresh "updatedb" as root. Locate works well with grep of course. One day I do hope to conquer hotplug and all. Have a great week!
