True enough the above is the listing for the card itself. The device should look like. device "rtl8180_24x" class "network" module "rtl8180_24x" So you need both. One to declare the device in general (the one imediately above) and one to bind it to your card. The one I gave before. BTW is this card being recognized as wlan0? Why I'm asking is that mine is eth0 (the only thing I use 99% of the time) For mine upon first insert MDK actually created an ifcfg-eth0 for the card and tried to find a DHCP addy, without my doing anything. (So I just modded what it created.) Hotplug recognizes the insert right away and tries on it's own to make it work (and it would have if I wasn't using WEP) James > > Good luck, > HarM > > > > ______________________________________________________________________ > Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? > Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
