Hi juanito,
Thanks for the information. I will use the blacklist cheatcodes.
Regarding, the 64bit vs 32 bit. Interesting, perhaps the specs are misleading. See below. I will try using 32 bit versions of everything.
Using 64bit modules, the WL driver does not work acceptably. After blacklisting and modprobing as described earlier. I can find wireless networks. When I attempt to log onto my network, the pc hangs. Only recourse is to re-boot.
I have had better success using the 64bit version of Porteus. Sometimes it works perfectly. Sometimes hangs as above.
No problems using Windows 7, although I, obviously, prefer not to.
Thanks again for your help.
Best regards,
sci-fi
