Here's the problem. I have an Edimax and a Linksys USB adapter. They |
| 11 |
both use the rt73usb driver in 2.6.24. I can stop the interface and |
| 12 |
successfully switch from Edimax to Linksys, but trying to go from |
| 13 |
Linksys to Edimax says the hardware is not present when trying to |
| 14 |
start the interface again. Rebooting fixes it. Can anyone make sense |
| 15 |
of that? |
