HarM Seems that there is a known bug in the sourcecode (why it doesn't want to build.) Someone clued me into a howto that might get you going and get the modules to build. http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/Wireless-Link-sys-WPC11/x101.html Thanks to some of the guys over on Debian. Seems this card is to say the least a PITA. Once done this should be what you need in /etc/pcmcia/config card "realtek", "Rtl8180" manfid 0x0000, 0x024c bind "rtl8180_24x" James > > > > > 2.
