[Wirelessdriver-support] WS/Jag/beta5.1 stability report

[goyaboy <go...@ma...>]

I went through the day emailing and web browsing and transferring files 
on my WS/Jag/Lucent Gold setup without mishap and then just a few 
minutes ago while unstuffing a just-downloaded file the card crashed 
the system in the same manner as when I inserted the card with beta5 (a 
4-language "you must restart" dialog box appears and a hard restart is 
the only way out). Upon restart the WirelessConfig showed an active 
signal, but the Network IP was messed up--rather than a DHCP-assigned 
number a "self-assigned" number (it actually said "self-assigned" under 
the IP number) appeared (169.254.220.54). Needless to say, the card 
wouldn't connect with the internet despite the signal in 
WirelessConfig. So I restarted again--and then all was fine. And still 
is. I was actually surprised by the crash because everything was quite 
smooth all day. In fact, I was poised to report great stability until 
this happened (and I would still rate stability on my system quite 
good, especially since I'm operating right now with a slightly buggy 
upgraded Sonnet Crescendo G4 cpu in.)
So, a bug or two still seems to be lurking, but if it's recoverable 
with a restart or two I can live with that until the next build. And 
again, many thanks to Rob & Co. for their fine work!
