Interesting that you omit the model number. Is it the Linksys WUSB54GSC, or something close to that? Although atheros chipsets will work with the madwifi drivers, USB devices were not supported as late as Feb '08. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4269087 Most likely your toshiba makes a wifi connection via the internal atheros device (which works with madwifi). I would like to see the relevant lsusb, lspci, and modprobe.conf (alias) lines that expose how madwifi supports your USB device. > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Behalf Of Mark Pryor > Sent: Friday, May 02, 2008 6:33 PM > To: centos@centos.org > Subject: Re: [CentOS] USB Wireless NIC > > > > --- "Joseph L.
