Hi, I am using Linux abbaton.ucd.ie 3.6.1-1-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Oct 10 19:28:30 UTC 2012 (2a321c4) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux but what I report it happened on all 3.6 version of kernel and maybe 3.5 but I jumped directly from 3.4 I observed that my wireless card (broadcom with the wl) driver sees networks only in certain reproducible situations... for example one of them is like follows. I start the computer the driver seems loaded... the eth1 device is created but it cannot scan any network... I put the computer to sleep... I wake it up... and all the networks appear and I can connect and use the wireless as expected... I was trying to understand what are the differences and what can be the cause of this behaviour... I did a lsmod and sorted the modules loaded in the two situations and they seem to be very different... As all these kernel modules look pretty greek to me, if anyone can find the cause of the strange behaviour or rule them out I would be very grateful. regards, Alin -- Without Questions there are no Answers! ______________________________________________________________________ Alin Marin ELENA Advanced Molecular Simulation Research Laboratory School of Physics, University College Dublin ---- Ardionsamblú Móilíneach Saotharlann Taighde Scoil na Fisice, An Coláiste Ollscoile, Baile Átha Cliath ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://alin.elenaworld.net ______________________________________________________________________
