If you have a built in Ethernet on your computer, then it will come up as eth0, and will be assumed to be the interface connected to the Internet. If you do not intend to use this interface, then :- MandrakeControlCentre>Network>DrakConnect>Configure Local Area Network and unselect 'Start on Boot' Alternatively if you do not have a built in Ethernet, then this will be the Wireless dongle. As my web page points out, by default the atmelwlan driver will try to grab the wireless dongle, and will call it ethx, but it will fail to configure it correctly, and so fail. Disabling the atmelwlan driver allows the at76c503 driver to grab the dongle, and it will be named wlan0 Once you see wlan0 appear in the logs or in response to an iwconfig command, then you will know that the driver is working, and it is only a matter of getting the configuration file right. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net
