I am unclear. Is there a ipw2200 module line in your modprobe.conf file. Do you see that module loaded when you do a lsmod. -- In the latest kernel under FC4 you had to have a line like: options ipw2200 hwcrypto=0 for the card to work. I also have this card so I ma interested in your progress. One last thing which is to look into NetworkManager to configure you nics rather than system-config-network. ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University telephone: (210)-999-7484
