In that case, I would not be so quick to suspect Kismac is causing the =
problem, unless it only happens after Kismac is started, then closed, in =
which case it may have left a driver installed which conflicts with =
something else.  Otherwise, Kismac doesn't install anything resident as =
far as I know other than when you start it, then it unloads when it's =
closed.  If you restart the computer, do not start Kismac, and insert =
your card, and it crashes, you have basically eliminated is as the =
problem.
