I do believe the builtin card is connected to *a* builtin pcmcia bus. I think there are two on this laptop. I pulled out the PCMCIA card and the Dell internal wireless card on a PCMCIA buss is still there. The D-Link card previously found on the PCI bus is now gone. > How to connect depends on your network. Unencrypted, WEP, WPA-PSK, > WPA-EAP,...

Wireless Tools 28? http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html#latest says the latest stable version is 27. I found a beta for 28 and I'll experiment with that. iwconfig should suffice for manually connecting to > unencrypted and WEP networks. "iwconfig ath0 essid SSID key WEPKEY" or > something like that. To start, I'm working on unencrypted. I have a small NETGEAR wireless access point that is still in its default configuration. I'll try on the D-Link card that the system recognizes. > So, the TrueMobile is a PC Card and not built-in?

No, as explained above. I will continue to read about wireless to figure this out. In a perverse way, its good that I have two "cards" that are giving me problems. It will make BLFS more robust when I add wireless to the book. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
