Justly I just arrived at a Lab that has many wondows boxes and I need 
linux for my work so I installed SL Linux 5.5 as double boot with VISTA 
and in all machines with double boot windows-linux the network is lost 
periodically. All the PCs have USB wireless probe. I am new in the Lab but 
at the time I am writing this email i did not check yet the wrieless source.

  Thank you, rachid.
