I urge my students to ask when they realize they are confused so I am going to take that advice. I am clueless about ndiswrapper and what it is use for. I can connect to my wireless access point at home and to one at work and as far as I know I have not used ndiswrapper. What am I missing? Is it for only certain wireless cards, or for certain environments using wireless cards , or what? I will settle to be pointed to a document that explains all this. -- ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University telephone: (210)-999-7484
