Thanks very much for the pointer. I had been using the cvs versions of madwifi to no avail, though the FAQ is a welcome link. I'm assuming that you had some trouble with Kudzu and as a result decided not to use it. If that is the case, I can certainly relate, as I had some problems on a work machine with a cisco card and kudzu. again, thanks.
