hi, last time i stuck a pcmcia wifi card in my computer i was able to detect the access point but never got an ip address and obviously couldn't get on the network. then craig white and i found out that all we needed to do was add the network card (eth0) to the Network Applet in Applications -> System Settings. then it worked. so i've decided to try getting my on board wifi card working. thanks to that ndiswrapper thread. :-) i have to say it went well. i think it is working. i can iwlist wlan0 scan and i get the access point info but can't get on the network. so i thought why not add this wlan0 to the network applet. but it won't accept the wlan0 format. it has to be eth(#). any suggestions? mike hoy --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
