What I mean is , I have got a lucent wireless card installed and configured on my Wondows 2000 machine. Say I have booted into my Win2K machine without plugging in wireless card. So after logging in, at a later point of time, if I plugin my wireless card, Win2K automatically detects it, activates it and makes the network up. That is what I mean by Plug n Play..
Whereas in linux(say Redhat 8.0), I have installed the driver and configured it for the same Lucent wireless card. In the same scenario, if I plug in my wireless card at a later point of time after the system is up, it won't detect the wireless card automatically and bring up the network . I have to manually restart the service..to activate the wireless card and make network up. This is just an example.... I hope I made the point clear....!! So any views in this direction.....??

For me installing recent Redhat (7.x up) is so easy now because it alwasy recognize all the hardware and configure it correctly, in one boot. Compare that with Win98 when you have to reboot everytime the OS found a new hardware, or install a new driver... what a pain. Eg, I just plug in a new sound card, run Kudzu, and all is well. And BTW, in Win it's called Plug n Pray :) RDB -- Reuben D.
