Try it out. Using kernel-2.6.15-1.1831_fC4 and putting: options ipw2200 hwcrypto=0 in the /etc/modprobe.conf. the wireless connection fails every time. Without this option the connection works. Go figure. I will try the kernel-2.6.15-1.1833_FC4 when I can get it. ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University telephone: (210)-999-7484
