Hello Ben,
...

No, of course not ;) I thought according to the built-in prism
II-chip I should use the link to the orinoco driver in modules.config:
...
alias eth2 orinoco
...
>Please send the output of this to the list:
>ifconfig -a
this shows only i0, eth0 and eth1, no eth2 - but I tried to enable the
pc-card/adapter with eth2 :(
>The ESSID is the network name that you are trying to connect to.
Hmm, I want to use this box as LAN access point, so is it really
neccessary to add this information in this line?
>The ENC_KEY is the encryption key for the network you are trying to

So I should delete this line or leave it empty? If I put some
characters into this line, what effect does this have for connection
issues? Sorry to ask for this informations - I really know nothing about
that...

The mdk-box itself should be the LAN access point.

OK, the mdk-box is connected to the internet via usb-alcatel
speedtouch (working). If I use the "normal" wired ethernet interface
connected to a switch offering the clients access to the
internet/intranet via dhcp everything works. But now the wireless lan
adapter should overtake this "service", I hope you'll find this basic
information useful to help me - thank you in advance!
