It does show wireless and I can enter the details to the dialog. It never asks for the gnome-keyring but that could be because I'm using the Live CD to test. I acts as though the connection is proceeding but just as the two little green lights turn green NM reconnects the wired connection and drops the attempt to connect the wireless. The card is known to work with XP. >2. The SSID does not appear so you have to choose "Connect to other Wireless Network" > then a GUI will appear where you choose the SSID and Wireless Security.

Any suggestions on where to go next? Thanks very much, -- Knute Johnson Molon Labe...
