    Hello
    I recently loaded the latest Omega Drivers (2.6.42 based on Cat 5.6) on to my W3V and while I was happy with the driver itself it had a strange side affect. I could no longer access the internet interface to my Linksys WAG54G v2 (Australian model). The page would time out and I would get the usual page not found error.

    When I uninstalld the tray tools this problem mysteriously dissapeared and everything is working well again. So now I have the latest driver albeit without the convenience of the tray tools.

    I have no idea why a GUI to video drivers should affect my internet connectivity but I swear I'm not lying. I would be interested if anyone could reproduce this behavior with a Linksys or any other router. :rolleyes: :confused:

    is there still a Mod tool for the catayst drivers? If the omegas are giving you trouble, you might want to try that.

    ATi also stated that they will release mobility drivers in the near future (source: anandtech), so you could also wait for those
