Main goal was to test the wireless network setup in installation. I have a Linksys WPC11V3 card which should talk to a Linksys BEFW11S4. It was not able to pull an IP address from the router, but I've seen this happen before. I gave it a static IP address - which I actually prefer. It would be nice if this were an opton in the installer. After the reboot, I was informed that I did not have an internet connection, so the wireless setup did not work. It would have been nice if I had been informed of this much earlier in the installation - possibly at the point that it was configuring the network. For all intents and purposes, everything I did after that point - most of what was done - was wasted time. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAV4RxjeziQOokQnARAq/MAJ4kYS4L+9ZQGTam9RrI0j/FLXBBrACfWIVc rKE+nndJ5B0r24Sf596tSaA= =VIus -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
