Hi all I use my Fosa ( gericom ) laptop in a wireless environment, and run fine: My pcmcia card is a smc, prism2 chip. In DHCP sometimes ( if not have access point closer ) fail and lose a lot of time in startup. if any Ip is statically assigned run very fine. Only a consideration: The startup process start first the Network and in second time the Pcmcia support. For many cards ( the pci cards are a pcmcia + pci adapter ) this not run fine. in rc3.d and in rc5.d change the order to put first the pcmcia support, and after the network. sorry for my english :) -- PuntCom Inform�tica Jordi Vidal, Servei T�cnic T. +34 973 35 28 36 E 25700 La Seu d'Urgell, Spain ________________________________________ Dona d'alta el teu CorreuWeb gratis a PuntCom Informatica, www.e-puntcom.com
