Thanks. > > Curt Goff I'm using a card that uses the same drivers and have seen that behaviour. Try this: (worked for me anyway) assuming you have a graphical session up & the card is plugged in- First open a terminal window and do cardctl eject as root, eject the card & plug it back in then from the applicaions menu go to: applications-->System Settings-->network *delete* the wireless device(s) do 'new-->wireless connection from that same GUI, hopefully your card will show up. Add in your ESSID, WEP key, channel etc... save the config. Also edit the devices properties to allow users to activate/deactivate it (if you want to). Save. At this point, with any luck, you should be able to activate the device from: applications--> system tools-->Network Device Control You *may* have to reboot, one of my laptops did the other did not. Also check if the NetworkManager daemon is running, that has been a little hit or miss; for some folks it works *great* for others causes all kinds of grief. Adding the network monitor applet to one of the panels is helpful and/or dmesg for troubleshooting. -- Bests, Jon
