USB Directconnect cable - unable to get it to work

[Ian Coetzee]

Hi all

First of, sorry for making this a top post, for I am on my phone and
cannot see the email.

Noop, thanks for the links that is some quite intersting reading.

Also, in regards to the wireless problem, I did not want to bother
this list with yet another problem regarding the crappy broadcom
chipset. Also it is only at the office a problem, and I much prefer a
cable over wireless in any way. While I was typing this I realised
that the probllem might also be related to the wireless AP itself
*shrug*

Regards
Ian

Btw sorry yet again for the top post.
