That's interesting, but it doesn't take me much further (smile). Yes, this is in the early stage of installing in a new machine. Wifi works easily with System Rescue + Mint (running from USB stick). The minimal installer -- presumably you mean Stage 3 -- didn't include 'wpa_supplicant' & I emerged it later. Your experience suggests there mb some pkg missing, which I need. Do you -- or anyone else -- have any idea what it might be ? Perhaps there's still some firmware missing, but I'm having difficulty identifying what it could be or where I would find it. Any more substantial advice is very welcome. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
