That's exactly what the output of -M should be. See the last two lines there? That's the network. So good, your card is actually capable of picking up networks. It doesn't seem to have turned on debugging though. Maybe I should have checked the syntax first. Maybe try it in this order then: #ifconfig wpi0 debug #ifconfig -M wpi0 btw, you are doing this from tty0 right? Otherwise you won't see the messages from the card (you can still see them by checking your dmesg). Maybe tcpdump could help you too. -Nick
