command line su cardctl ident That will display your cards manfid. Just change the entry in the hermes conf file to the proper manfid. The description of the card does not matter, call it whatever you like. ie: card "Netgear MA something or other" manfid 0x0156, 0x0002 bind "orinoco_cs" Regards, Simon Ree [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Fri, 1 Nov 2002 22:10:19 -0700 Lee Roberts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > I was unable to get my card to work with your > instructions.
