Is yours a Boomerang card? I had similar problems with Debian but not Caldera OpenLinux 1.3. I had trouble with Debian finding my card only because during the network setup, I chose the option to connect with an ISP. I installed Debian again but this time made the other choice, the option to network. That did the trick and I was still able to get on the net. When you are presented with that choice, just don't take the ISP option. There might be a way to get things working without a reinstall, and maybe some of the more experienced Debianers know how to do it. I had to reinstall, though. -- Andrew
