I said it does not work with all WiFi DEVICES. It does not work with classic Orinoco Gold and Silver PCMCIA cards, and I'm sure with many other similar cards. The reason is that NM relies on a kind of scanning which these cards to not support. I'm sorry, but you do not have sufficient experience or knowledge to write a general WiFi HOWTO. By all means write an article on "How I got WiFi to work with device ABC on machine XYZ". -- 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
