I didn't connect the problem to that until now, but it seems you're right. I only use the WLAN card at home, but I have a network printer and just tried sending a largish job to it.

I have the PCMCIA version and am seeing exactly the same problem. I've used it under RH 7.2 for almost 1/2 year without problems. I've also seen reports from people having the same kinds of problems under FreeBSD 4.6.2. /Robert
