Bill, you may be right...
To the access point there two boxes that send data, one is my laptop and the ohter one is a windows98 box and I dont have wireless phones here.

I will report this as you say at acx111 and try the newer driver and see what happens.

See you.
Fabián.

They're rather unfriendly to WiFi or at least the one that I had was. There are some parameters (see iwpriv) that you can use to increase the signal strength but don't go too high or you'll burn out the card. Another thing is that apparently the 650+ is susceptable to overheating (it's buried in the ACX100 README).

You may want to report this crash of the card to the development team on the Sourceforge forum for the acx100/111. There's a selection for the forum on the ACX100/111 home page. I've found the forum really helpful and the dev team really knowledgeable. BTW _plus_fixes_26 is out.

One other thing that I noticed is that using the start_net script gave me the lockup problem. If I configure the card manually w/ iwconfig, ifconfig and pump my connection (currently up for a week) seems considerably more stable. It's an observation and I don't know how to go about analyzing why this happens.

Glad to hear that it's working (sort of)
