I have to manually add it each time, so it must not be recognizing it. I'll look in config under /etc/pcmcia for some, but what are good wavelan cards. I tried the compaq HNW-100 which is orinoco but it has issues when I try to activate it under RH8. The laptop is a compaq armada m700, pretty linux friendly for everything, incl. pcmcia cards, until now with SusE 8.x and RH 8. Under RH8 when the card is put in, it tries to override eth0, which is a built in e100 RJ45 port. I'll still keep digging around. Maybe I'll bite the bullet and buy the Orinoco card from Comp USA> _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
