I have been running wireless PCMCIA cards in Sarge and Etch on my T20 for a while. Currently I am using an Edimax EW-7108PCg card with the Ralink chipset. I have documented the process I followed on the NewbieDOC website [1] [2]. You may find something helpful there. Can you ping your Access Point? If not, you might need to disable your ethernet interface: # ifdown eth0 or similar. If this works you can comment out the eth0 entry in /etc/network/interfaces [1] http://newbiedoc.berlios.de/wiki/How_to_set_up_a_wireless_network_card_using_drivers_from_Debian_packages#Short_version_if_you_are_impatient [2] http://newbiedoc.berlios.de/wiki/Installing_Ndiswrapper_in_Debian -- Chris. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
