Subject: Need help setting up wireless LAN on Debian
Can someone help me set up my wireless LAN card on my laptop? My laptop
has a built-in Ethernet port and my wireless card is pcmcia.

I can get the card to work - the lights flash and I can get my dhcp
server to give it an address. I need help in two areas - (1) once the
card is up and has an address how do I make it the Ethernet connection
used by other programs and (2) how do I make the system automatically
load the card?

I can get the card working with:

modprobe ndiswrapper
ifconfig wlan0 up
dhclient wlan0

Now, when I run ifconfig I get wlan0 with a valid Ethernet address on my
network. However, I have a built in eth0 so that is always the default
network connection.

Thanks!

Mark
