WiFi works perfectly for me with my Orinoco Classic Gold PCMCIA card, using the standard kernel orinoco_cs module under linux-2.6.10 . I wouldn't want to lose that. It seems to me that if NetworkManager only works with certain cards, or with certain drivers, this should be stated somewhere. Or even better, could NetworkManager test the card in use, and drop out with an error message if the card is unable to perform the operations required by the program? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
