Hi Alex,

Bit of progress (sort of).  I've spoken to HP Tech Support and the short 
version is we have confirmed there is no hardware fault.  I was 
wondering about that as it won't work in Windows 2000 or Mandrake.  
However it works fine in Windows XP Home *blech*;)

So I reloaded all the system, modprobedfor ath_pci and then checked 
dmesg.  The below is what dmesg says:

ath_hal: module license 'Proprietary' taints kernel.
ath_hal: 0.9.14.9 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413)
wlan: 0.8.4.5 (EXPERIMENTAL)
ath_rate_onoe: 1.0
ath_pci: 0.9.4.12 (EXPERIMENTAL)

Is that "tainted" kernel comment going to be causing trouble?

Kind regards,

Julian
