As it happens the at76c593a driver is included with 9.2 and it works beautifully. The only problem is that the atmelwlandriver is also included and will claim your SMS2662W first. The atmelwlandriver is my opinion a right pig to configure especially since the configuration utility is *not* included in 9.2 I have a workaround described here http://www.jennings.homelinux.net/modules.php?name=Sections&op=viewarticle&artid=19 derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
