I had exactly the same problem. If dual boot, boot to windows, download the pcmcia-cs package, reboot to linux, then install it. Messy, but works. Better alternative - rerun the setup program, tell it it's an "Expert" "Update", click to show the list of packages, manually select the pcmcia-cs package, and after updating with any updates since the previous install and installing the package, will configure the network from the parameters you put in to do the install. Works great. > Thanks. Vinny
