If you bring up System/Administration/Network do you see any wireless connection entries in the connections tab? You will need to unlock and enter your connection settings (usually the lower of two wireless connections in the list). It took me some trial and error to get mine to work. If you don't see any wireless connections in the list, it can be a real problem to get your adapter to work. In fact, now that I am thinking about it, for my EMC PC's I use a wireless client to Ethernet adapter. This could save you allot of frustration. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833127053 Kirk ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
