Alrighty, thanks to everyone who helped me with this.
The break came when talking to one of their administrators I happened to run into at a bar. (Shades of "Free as in Beer"?) He mentioned that the MAC addresses of all the wireless ethernet cards had to be registered before they were allowed on the network. I registered the MAC address (via napkin-net) and lo and behold, the card magically worked with the pump utility. Not with full encryption, which is something I'm sure wireless tools will do for me if I have the occaision to download them, but it still can see the network and the internet. Next problem is I needed to upgrade glibc and grabbed it from www.gtk.org. Now I have a conflicted version. Where does debian keep it's glibc so I can kill 1.2.7 for 1.2.9? Thanks, I'm new to debian and it's working out well on my laptop, better then slackware, but the libraries and apt-get drive me nuts. apt-get seems to have a wicked tendency to grab outdated libs (glibc and ncurses come to mind...) --Josh Knarr -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
