I didn't think this file was normally read when booting; I thought /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0 would be the relevant file. WiFi under Fedora/Linux is a bit of a mess, in my opinion. Files all over the place are looked at, without any documentation listing them. In your case, I would have looked at /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts and set the WEP key there. But I use the standard orinoco_cs kernel driver, which may be different. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
