A few weeks ago my wifi card got a little shaky.
Sometimes it would just loose connection (either led goes off or stays on but connection is dead). In dmesg a lot of messages with code -110 or -61. I recently replaced the router to a new WRT54GL one flashed with dd-wrt. Yesterday I saw a new problem with it. Sometimes after I plug it in and start browsing my screen washes out ! When card is unplugged the screen goes back to normal. Card is so shaky even when it works doesn't hold more then a few minutes connected. Is it card problem?Maybe Zaurus power supply or compact flash problem? I tried just putting in some regular cf cards 1 and 4 gig and everything seems to work fine with them. |

I have similar problems - screen washout, wifi sometimes switches off, similar dmesg & my terrier sometimes grinds to a halt (ie very slow), until I remove the card. No idea if it's: * a kernel issue *A wlan card issue ..probably not a problem with the 3200, as it's absolutely fine with CF memory & BT card. |
