Thanks a lot, Derek. My situation is like this. I have one computer connected directly to the wireless modem through an ethernet cable. Another one in the little network is configured to receive with the USB adapter which you helped me to configure. By several reasons, I changed to Mandrake 10.0, and could configure my USB reception with DeakConnect, as you told me to do. The third computer's OS is 9.2, and is wireless conected to the modem by a PCI adapter. I tried to do the same you told me to do with the USB adapter, but it didn't work. I suspect I need a different driver from at76c503c. Is it true? I, presently will visit your web page(s), maybe the answer is there, huh? Thanks for all the help you have granted me. Teilhard
