Fortunately I have been able to get it working using ndiswrapper. This is even under the x86_64 version of F8, which required a couple of further steps (essentially acquiring and utilizing the 64-bit version of the Marvell drivers). I can post the details if others would find it useful. But once I do get this fully operational (I'm still tweaking it), could I use NetManager to manage whether I use wlan0 or eth0? -- % Randy Yates % "She's sweet on Wagner-I think she'd die for Beethoven. %% Fuquay-Varina, NC % She love the way Puccini lays down a tune, and %%% 919-577-9882 % Verdi's always creepin' from her room." %%%% <yates@xxxxxxxx> % "Rockaria", *A New World Record*, ELO http://www.digitalsignallabs.com
