As far as what drivers are loaded please tell me how to find where those are stated.

no help?

After checking out the specs of your wireless card and chipset, I need to ask... Are you using wireless N?

I know what you are refering to however I do not know. I connect to the Apartment Network so i dont know what they use and on my end the computer just uses what it set up as

Ok. In that case, have you tried disabling wireless N on your chipset and then see if the problem persists?

how do i do that?

Use the 11n_disable=1 option.

Also try 11n_disable=0 if by chance N is disabled by default and/or it is being forced off when loaded.

ok i did that this isnt something that i can see if it worked right away so i will monitor it and see if the issue arises again as it has not happened since i posted this thread if it will happen it should soon. The only thing i couldnt get to work was the last bit of the code

cat animal | tail
Results: meow
my results went like this

cat animal | tail
Results: roar

Ok that works, let me know if it persists.

And as far as the cat thing, I was bored and changed it up. I came up with something more feasible for these forums though...

And for the record, my cat will kill your cat

Will do but my cats better than your cat lol
