They were--thanks! I've followed this recipe before for the DWL-122, (http://julian.coccia.com/blog/index.php?p=53&more=1), and he says that you need to recompile your kernel locally or you will get module dependency errors when you try to insert the modules. Guess I've done a lot of recompiles in the past for no reason. :) Here's a couple of kinks that I worked out, just in case someone else has this adapter, architecture and/or kernel version, and finds this thread through a DWL-122 search: 1. The default gcc installation on my system is 3.3 but the stock kernel was compiled with gcc 3.4. After apt-getting gcc-3.4 and doing ./configure (see the web page above) for linux-wlan-ng and the DWL-122, I had to do `make all CC=gcc-3.4;make install` instead of `make all; make install`. I tried the wrong way first--it didn't work. I removed the compiled modules and source code, untarred the source code again, and did it the right way, which worked. 2. This card always worked perfectly for me in 2.4 but I have had problems with it before in 2.6 (32 bit). After I got it working in this kernel and amd64 architecture, it started acting up again! I figured (hoped) that the problem might be with hotplug, since the errors seemed to happen when it tried to bring up the wlan0 interface. So I added the modules to /etc/modules (prism2_usb,p80211), edited the /etc/network/interfaces file, and the computer finds and configures the adapter now while booting up, without using hotplug. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it keeps working. Thanks again for your help. Bob B. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
