I put FBSD (for a day) on this box a couple of months ago. The light on the PCMCIA WiFi card did come on then. (Linksys card.) But a network scan still said that there was no network connector attached or present. This time, the light doesn't even come on. I'm beginning to think that the SSH program is a problem source. But I'm am also sure that I am approaching this wrong and need some direction. (I've tried all of the options in the sysinstall network menu.)
(100% of my Internet connection is through WiFi services. I travel all year long. When I sometimes go home to Wyoming, my cell phone normally doesn't work there. No phone lines. A wind generator and a gas generator for electricity. Snow gets over 10 feet deep during a normal winter. Travel in the winter is by snowmobile. Antelope, moose, and elk get in my way during the day and wake me up in the night. Usually I don't want to leave there...)

I have several wifi modems. I've read where the Linksys 802.11b seems the most compatable with UNIX type systems. I bought this one recently. I also have the US Robodics 802.11g, Netware 802.11b, and a generic wavelan 802.11b PCMCIA card. I have yet to get any of these to work under a UNIX type system. Obviously there is something here that I don't understand.
Anyone have some step-by-step instuctions for this idiot?
What have you tried, and what didn't work?
