so in principle you have done everything ... you should have told that from the beginning :-) for the question whether to comlile them into the kernel or build them as modules I can only say "Yes, build them into the kernel or as modules :-)" if you just do an "ifconfig" you will not see non active ethers ... "ifconfig -a" will show you everything and iwconfig will show you all ethers with wireless estensions do you have wireless_tools installed? http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html#latest -- H CUH Rainer Peter Feller H -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
