Hence the comment that this > machine would not have internet access until the card was running. as a point of note, i purchased a linksys wireless ethernet bridge and it works FLAWLESSLY, it's completely transparent to everything else on my network, it pulls an ip from the wap which keeps everything happy on that end. also, it supports WEP and a slew of other features. grab the manual from linksys.com / you can buy it at newegg.com http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=33-124-008&depa=1 pick this up with a cheap hub and you won't have to worry about drivers for your wireless card. i mean, peanuts to peanuts, this thing runs $83 vs about $60 or so for a single card. you'd be able to hook up other machines with your cheap pci network cards without any problem. just because you can do it in linux doesn't mean you should, KISS. -d -+(duncan brown -+(duncanbrown@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -+(http://www.linuxadvocate.net () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ - against microsoft attachments Blessed is the man who, having nothing to say, abstains from giving wordy evidence of the fact. -- George Eliot
