I did find that there is a PIO-related option that I can put in modprobe.conf, but that doesn't seem to be address the problem I have (I also read that the b43 driver revert back to PIO automatically if there are DMA problems). Next step I'll try one of the daily snapshots via the compat-wireless package. If that doesn't work I'll be very irritated indeed, enough so to volunteer my services to the b43 devs for any testing they need to have done. /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe
