Any help would be greatly appreciated. The windows box particpates on the network just fine, so I know that's not an issue. Others have mentioned that this does not require PCMCIA support, just the various wireless tools and the right driver. I have confirmed that this card uses the ADM8211 chipset which is supported by drivers downloaded from http://www.admtek.com.tw/. I've installed various wireless tools like iwconfig and they communicate with the card just fine. I THINK the card even tries to tell me that it's getting a good signal (iwconfig link quality is 95). How do I tell debian to tell the card to grab an IP address from the gateway (192.168.1.1) and start routing traffic? ifconfig shows lo and the hardware at eth2 and /etc/network/options has ip_forward=no, /etc/network/interfaces contains auto lo eth2 iface eth2 inet dhcp wireless_essid linksys wireless_mode Managed gateway 192.168.1.1 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
