Only if I make unjustified assumptions about your hardware. I'll assume it's a PC. When it's just starting to boot, do you see a list or table on the screen that tells you about things like PCI cards and interrupts? Do any of them say things like IRQ9, IRQ10, IRQ11? If so does it appear that more than one of them uses the same IRQ? You can press DEL when it's first booting to get into the BIOS setup feature, to make changes, from there you're on your own because they're all rather different. Probably best not to touch it if you aren't sure what you're doing, you might end up with a PC you can't boot. Make sure that at least you write down carefully any setting you change before you change it. When Linux starts to boot, do you see any messages about interrupts, wireless cards, USB, PCI? Do any of them say anything interesting? > Yes, on my first reboot after installing the wireless drivers, everything > worked fine.

You probably messed up things like routing and nameserver access. You can configure your DHCP server to give you the same IP anyway. > only thing I haven't been able to do with the wireless card is use SMB. Have you used SMB before? It's a bit of a fiddle to configure. 73, Ged. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
