It took about 10 seconds. 1) I entered "Fedora HCL" since that is what was referred to, and was told that "this page does not exist yet", as I said. 2) The statement was that there existed a document called "the HCL". As far as I can see, the document you refer to, while interesting, simply claims to be the LinuxQuestions HCL. 3) The statement was that "the HCL" would give you the chipset of any wireless card. I checked a random set of 5 cards in the HCL you refer to, and none of them seemed to reference any chipset. As far as I can see, there is not a document called "The Linux HCL". I too googled for "linux hcl" and found a number of different documents claiming this title. In any case, I stand by my original complaint that if people are referring to online documents they should go to the trouble of giving their URLs. -- 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
