================================================================================================
As I stated before in my previous posts, I have both a Linksys Card using the Broadcom 4318 chipset and the <ndiswrapper> drivers, and a built-in Dell TrueMobile 1150 Series MiniPCI card using the <orinoco_cs> driver.

Up until yesterday, I thought that I had fixed the problem with the Linksys cards; I could finally get wireless access through the Linksys card and it would work perfectly. With this, I figured that I could at least have both so that I can use the TrueMobile as a backup in case the Linksys card fails.

The Linksys card no longer works as of this morning; it can find the wireless networks and all but it cannot successfully connect to them. The TrueMobile card can successfully connect to any wireless networks it can find.

This is becoming quite troublesome as I am unsure as to what causes it. I almost want to say that the problem is random but I doubt it. I think I will take Michel's advice and check to see if it involves his method of reproduction.

I ask this again (and my most sincere apologies to anyone who reads this sentence), but is there a set of commands or instructions I should run or execute to get any more information about the driver problem??? ANYTHING!?!? If I can figure out what I'm supposed to look for, I will help. Developers, I am sending this out to you to.
