Thanks to all who responded to this query. As it turned out, the problem was that I had selected "PCMCIA Wireless Networking" and "Hermes Wireless Adapter" in the kernel, but not "Hermes PCMCIA adapter." I therefore didn't have an available driver for the card.
I do find it kind of confusing. Can someone provide a reason why some of the modules/options for PCMCIA wireless networking are in "Network Device Support -> Wireless LAN -> Wireless pcmcia cards support" while others are in "PCMCIA Network Device Support -> PCMCIA Wireless LAN"? ap ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew J Perrin - http://www.unc.edu/~aperrin Assistant Professor of Sociology, U of North Carolina, Chapel Hill [EMAIL PROTECTED] * andrew_perrin (at) unc.edu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
