Hi Digz, Before you can have a working wireless internet connection you need to install madwifi (with module assistant: 'apt-get install madwifi-source' then 'm-a prepare' and 'm-a a-i madwifi'). Then you need to restart and open up your Network Settings from within GNOME. You need to connect to ath0 not eth0, and you can type in all of your information through the dialog (it is also possible to do this using ifup and ifconfig, but that is quite a bit more difficult). You should then have a working wireless internet connection. I hope that this helps, Kasimir Gabert -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
