I'm hoping his dvd download via Iceweasel fails, since that would point directly to a driver issue. If it succeeds, that means the problemo is with the torrent software.

He stated his torrent failures occur on both one rev of Ubuntu and one rev of Debian--two Linux platforms. My somewhat educated guess is that both revs use the same version of the wireless driver and likely other network kernel code that is different from the rev of Ubuntu which he has no torrent problems with. They may even use the exact same kernel rev. I've not researched this however. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
