Hi, I recently installed Fedora FC11 (x86_64) on my Advent 7039 which for the most part runs great. For reference, it's an AMD Athlon 64 3000 with 512Mb RAM.
The 2 problems I have are:
Wireless networking sometimes takes several attempts to connect to my network, sometimes it connects up straight way. There appears to be no pattern to it. This wouldn't be so bad if it only did it when booting up but it sometimes does it after the screen is locked or the laptop goes into hibernate. If I boot the laptop into Windows XP, I never have a problem connecting and I have another XP laptop, 2 iPhones and an XBox 360 that all connect fine. The wireless card is a Belkin MIMO PCMCIA card. In the wpa_supplicant.log I get the following messages:

Eventually after a few retries it works:

As you can imagine, this is driving me nuts.
The other problem I'm having is with my touchpad; it occasionally stops responding for a few seconds and I get the following very regularly in Messages:
Code:
Oct 27 14:29:48 plt001 kernel: psmouse.c: TouchPad at isa0060/serio4/input0 lost sync at byte 4
Oct 27 14:29:48 plt001 kernel: psmouse.c: TouchPad at isa0060/serio4/input0 lost sync at byte 1
Oct 27 14:29:48 plt001 kernel: psmouse.c: TouchPad at isa0060/serio4/input0 - driver resynched.
Any help gratefully received! TIA
