Hello,

if I make abstraction that I have another linux distro and another wireless card (well it sounds
like a good introduction at this hour :)... ) the ony difference I can see is that you're using
the ohci driver. you sould try with uhci and see if it makes a difference, especially if your
computer has a recently Intel chipset.

Here is a quick description off the two:

Hope it helps...

--------------------------------
I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
