I had a very hard time getting that card to work,but since I finally 
figured it out (with help) It runs great... Just a thought,are you sure 
the card isn't switching nodes? Mine does on occasion...I tried to write 
an udev rule to put the card on a static node,but everything I tried 
doesn't seem to create the sym-link....
