Because of this - redhat-config-network script doesn't work. So I modify /etc/modules.conf and have 'alias ath0 ath_pci' (instead of what kudzu added) And I just copy arround stuff - and create /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ath0 and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/keys-ath0 files - and start networking manually by using 'ifup ath0' Satish ################################################## [asterix]: cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ath0 # Atheros Wireless DEVICE=ath0 TYPE=Wireless BOOTPROTO=dhcp ONBOOT=no USERCTL=no PEERDNS=no DHCP_HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain MODE=Auto RATE=Auto ESSID=xxxxxx [asterix]: cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/keys-ath0 KEY=xxxxxxxxxx [asterix]:
