Last night I returned the ConnectGear card (I think it was a we320, it used the realtek rtl 1080 chipset) and bought an ambicom wl100-pc/pci card. It was $90, but it was the only other card at Central that claimed to work with Linux. There were a couple others that might have.
I plugged it in and /var/log/messages said that it wanted to be eth1 so I copied my line for dhcp on eth0 and changed it to eth1 and the thing worked. Someone near Central even has an open wifi system so I was able to log on there. Unfortunately their firewall blocks ssh. Oh well. I still want to get my old Lucent PC24E-H-FC card working. It only has 64 bits of encryption so It won't work at the office, but with luck, it'll work at home. I don't know how to tell off hand if it's pcmcia or cardbus. If it's the former, it should work in my old Gatway Liberty laptop. Larry -- I've found something worse than oldies station that play the music I used to listen to. Oldies stations that play the "new" music I used to complain about. [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.red4est.com/lrc
