If you can run "modprobe prism54" and do "ifconfig -a" and see the interface then you're in business. If so then you just need to add (at a minimum) "iface wlan0 inet dhcp" to your interfaces file and run ifup wlan0. If you need SSID and/or WAP setup then that's more involved. I'd recommend installing ifplugd and linux-wlan-ng as it works wonderfully with a prism card. Prismstumbler is also fun. :)

I have just instaled kernel 2.6.8 and made sure to load the Prism module so that I could use the wireless card that bought today. It is a Netgear WG311 Version 2. According to the site, that should work. I don't know how to check it, to see if it is correctly installed. I also don't know how to set up the /etc/network/interfaces file. I would appreciate it if someone would point me in the right direction.
Any links on what to do? Mike .===================================. | This has been a P.L.U.G. mailing. | | Don't Fear the Penguin. | | IRC: #utah at irc.freenode.net | `==================================='
