I discovered this reference, and the "Linux Kernel 2.6 PCMCIA - mini-HOWTO" at <http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/pcmcia/howto.html> which explained the rather dramatic changes in the PCMCIA setup. After chkconfig-ing pcmcia off, installing sysfsutils and restarting the network, WiFi worked fine, if anything better than before. The only slight puzzle that remains is that it seems one has to put all the information required by WiFi - the ESSID, WEP key, etc, have to be put in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth2 . -- 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
