Hi All,

I have the same problem with the wireless only working on some boots. I
get the "power saturation level -1, less than expected" enrty in the
dmesg log when it doesn't work. Does anyone know what exactly this means
with regards to the wireless controller? Could this problem be caused by
other modules that needs to be loaded before the wireless module is
loaded i.e. sometimes the other modules are loaded correctly before the
wireless module gets loaded and sometimes not. I had CONCURRENCY=shell
in my /etc/init.d/rc but changed it back to none. Maybe something to
this effect is the problem? I will test this over the next few days but
don't want to reboot now because I just had to reboot my computer ~10
times to make it work. My root filesystem has been scanned 3 times the
last 4 days because of this. Thats 120 boots in 4 days. This REALLY
sucks.
