[2.4.21] But.. i have never got the wireless nic to come up automatically. Prob cause i havent bothered to learn how to put the wireless stuff in /etc/network/interfaces [path maybe wrong, from the top of my head ;-) ] That is one thing that sucks about the wlan-ng stuff, no wireless extensions :( i use a nasty script, bad way of doing things but works #!/bin/sh /etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng start wlan0 ifconfig wlan0 inet 192.168.0.10 up route del default route add default gw 192.168.0.1 > Do you have anything in your /etc/modules about your 'wlan0' interface or > any of the modules for that NIC? Also, what do you have for the *WPC* > stanzas in your /etc/pcmcia/config? card "Linksys WPC11 11Mbps 802.11b WLAN Card" version "Instant Wireless ", " Network PC CARD", "Version 01.02" bind "orinoco_cs" funny that, cause i dont use the orinoco drivers!
