(that drop-down list shows only a broadcom tigon3 card, which seems inappropriate, so i don't bother going any further down that path.) so can you clarify what you're describing above? can you add a new wireless connection thru system-config-network based on selecting your actual broadcom chip? thanks. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
