Hi Andrew
Thanks for your e-mail and offering to help, it is very kind of you. >Dear Charles, > Could you please describe the linux-wlan drivers in a bit more >detail please. Can you give us a URL, are they proprietary modules, or >do they come included with the kernel source? What brand, model? I cannot give you the exact error message at the moment as my computer is at home and I'm at the office :-( I can give you the URL which is www.linux-wlan.org The device I am trying for is an Actiontech USB 80211b card. I believe that the drivers can be included in the kernel source and compiled with it, but generally they are done post-kernel compilation, to create modules. The machine is Toshiba 440CDT laptop which runs a P133MMX, with 32Mb of RAM. I know its a very poor machine but my plan is to create a baby home network gateway with it. I actually changed to Debian because people on the linux-wlan list reported success when using debian. Thanks again Chalres
