Hrm, which version of Debian are you running? (I've got a /etc/wlan/wlan.conf, but no /etc/wlan.conf). > note: i do not want comments about the stupidness of publishing wepkeys. > > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/wlan$ cat wlancfg-stokerec That helped a great deal -- thank you. But for some reason, I still can't get my NIC to come up. From what I've read and done, I've rebuilt my kernel (now 2.4.21) WITHOUT pcmcia support (General setup -> PCMCIA/CardBus support), and YES to "Network device support -> Wireless LAN (non-hamradio) -> Wireless LAN (non-hamradio), Hermes chipset 802.11b support (Orinoco/Prism2/Symbol)" and have built pcmcia-cs-3.2.4 and linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1-pre8 from their respective sources. Do you have anything in your /etc/modules about your 'wlan0' interface or any of the modules for that NIC? Also, what do you have for the *WPC* stanzas in your /etc/pcmcia/config? Mine has "bind "orinoco_cs"" on both so that driver gets loaded by default. And if you could include the output of an 'lsmod' and 'cardctl ident' on your box, I would really appreciate it. Thank you again for all of your help, -Charlie
