I would insert the Card the boot into linux. See if Kudzu detects the card and loads drivers for the card. If not, then check out http://tuxmobil.org/pcmcia_ci10468.html foir drivers for your Card. Once you get the drivers install, you'll want to open network device controls. App---->system settings--->network. Next, you'll want to create a new network device. So click new select the type, in your case select wireless next screen, it will list the availible devices. if your card is listed, then half of the battle is done. if not, you'll need to create a new device from the list. Configure the rest of the settings accourding to your newtwork and save the settings. open the terminal, type is as root service network restart next try a iwlist scan to see if the card detects any AP's. if it does then issue a command iwconfig device (eth1??) essid <networkname> ifup eth1 and see i you connect. you can check by issueing ifconfig (will list your devices and any atributes with that device e.g ip address , mac address etc... Any problems just post back and I or some of the otherss can help. :) -- Jim Lawrence Registered Linux User: #376813 ******************************************************** When I'm feeling down, I like to whistle.
