I read about this ages ago. I *think* it was windoze doing some sort of |
49 |
a shutdown on the card, disabling it or putting it into sleep mode if |
50 |
you want to call it that. It appears that Linux isn't "waking" the card |
51 |
up but a power cycle does. It also appears that windoze "wakes" the |
52 |
card up when it boots. |
53 |
|
54 |
I'm pretty sure they found a fix but I can't recall what they did. It |
55 |
seems they changed some sort of setting in windoze but not real sure. |
56 |
May want to google the mailing list archives and see if you can find |
57 |
it. I know it is older than the archives I have here. I keep them for |
58 |
a year then it dumps them. So it's been a good while. May have to dig |
59 |
back a while. |
