I then booted with the no-wl LiveCD ISO I opened the Networkcenter and there was no wireless network showing at all (I noramlly can see 5 of them in my home). In fact there was a brief splash <looking for ...>
Then came up the error window with the message Unable to find network interface for selected device (using wl driver) I then opened harddrake from a konsole and it was looking for packages to install. After connecting the ethernet cable, the packages were installed (dkms-, libs, gcc, kernel-desktop-devel and kernel- server-devel !, etc) I opened the Networkcenter again and the same message apeared: Unable to find network interface for selected device (using wl driver) Besides that the driver ins't working, the installation is a hassle using a LiveCd. A live CD should be something portable and easy for demo, etc. -- Best regards Thomas Spuhler
