https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=297671#c5 --- Comment #5 from Hartmut Meyer 2007-08-10 09:57:07 MST --- i just noticed a very odd thing! In comment #4 I stated that the problem was gone in Beta 1. Well, that's true if you use the KDE CD (I tried both update and fresh install - both showed the problematic behaviour gone). I then tried an installation with the Gnome CD and there the problem is still there (both hostap_pci and orinoco_pci are loaded together)! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
