Let's quote another of Ray's statements: "And ifconfig -a does indeed show it, sorry about that." So if he did then try to initialize that device, that clearly _did_ show up in a standard place where network devices are expected to show up, he did see the message I quoted. Well, what if he did not try to initialize the device by doing an "ifconfig wlanX up"? That can hardly be my fault, right? -- Greetings Michael. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
