I have a new router (D-Link DIR-615) and a new wireless card (Intel

communication between them. After several days of puzzlement, I began to
entertain the notion that one or both were defective.
In an effort to establish which, I connected an external HD in place of
that of the notebook machine, installed WinXP on it, and installed the
wireless card's driver on it; the card worked properly, so it was no
longer suspect.
I thought I would them have to devise a troubleshooting scheme for the
router, but when I tried to use the wireless card to go online with my
own router, it worked perfectly. I had made no changes whatever in any
configuration.
You mean it now works in Linux?
If someone can explain what made the difference, I will stop believing in
poltergeists.
Did you power off? I'll made a wild guess. Or two. :-)
Windows loaded a firmware to the card. When you reboot without powering off, it is still there and linux works.
Or, windows changed a setting or something in the card that makes it works. It works in linux then because the setting holds.
Lets see whats happens after a hard reset or power-off >:-)
