Ok, thanks, I have already done this before because it was working. But I |
| 37 |
am not sure why it is not now, I shall have to check my emerge logs for the |
| 38 |
passed week and see what is in there that could effect this. (sorry for |
| 39 |
saying the obvious, of which I should have done last night) |

Cheers once I am back online, I may see if the rt2500 driver works with |
| 54 |
wpa_supplicant because that is how I am/was using ndiswrapper with. |

Thanks for all of the help |
