Cool, :)... I have an ipw2100 inner card, which was not recognized (devprobe eth0/eth1/... didn't work). So no luck there... I tried a dell trueMobile pcmcia card, which is orinoco based, and it worked, :)... A couple of things... 1st, I didn't find a way to use dhcp. I have dhcp-client installed so I supposed it'd work automagically because I set /etc/pcmcia/network.opts with DHCP="y". But when getting hooked with the access point, I didn't get an IP automatically. Then I tried the translator socket/2 with the "-d" argument for dhcp, and it didn't work. So at the end I tried the same translator but specifying the IP, the gateway, and the mask, and I got the IP then, :)... 2nd, I couldn't find the ifconfig executable, even though I have inetutils-tools installed, which is the package supposedly providing ifconfig. So the only way to know if I had IP was to "ping www.google.com", :(. 3rd, I don't know if it's because of the way I configured things (I set DHCP="y" under network.opts, and no IP neither gateway, etc), but I'm used to perform "ifup eth1" under linux and get hooked to the access point with an IP at the same time, but here I had to 1st get hooked, and then use the translator to get the IP... Is this the regular way? Thanks a lot, -- Javier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
