Bill, I was speaking of two different laptops. my eeepc has the rt2860,
the ipw2200 is a different machine, an old HP laptop.
My point was that I h ad the same symptoms on both machines, so I was
questioning whether there's something more busted in F13 wireless than
merely the rt2860 not working.
I can get the info you suggested, but not right at this moment.
