Here is an ifcfg-eth1 that works in my HP laptop using the BCM4318 with the ndiswrapper driver. I've never gotten the bcm43xx driver to work reliably. Anyway, the "/etc/modprobe.conf" file has: alias eth1 ndiswrapper /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 has: # Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g # Wireless LAN Controller TYPE=Wireless DEVICE=eth1 ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=dhcp ESSID=myessid HWADDR=00:14:a5:61:74:18 NETMASK= DHCP_HOSTNAME= IPADDR= DOMAIN= USERCTL=yes IPV6INIT=no PEERDNS=yes RATE=Auto MODE=Managed CHANNEL= As for the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/keys-eth1 file, it contains: KEY='0xYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY open' The "YYYY" stuff represents 26 hex characters and we use the "open" access mode. At home I have similar stuff set up, but the access mode is "restricted" and I use an ASCII string as the key instead of hex, e.g.: KEY='s:wxyzwxyzwxyz restricted' Use as you see fit. Just thought an example might help. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Principal Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxx - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - I won't rise to the occasion, but I'll slide over to it. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
