I have never used config.opts for that sort of thing, I have always just configured the card using /etc/network/interfaces and up statements. Have you tried using iwconfig manually to set the essid/mode/channel etc? Here's an example of the config stanza I use for my wireless card (a prism2/orinoco card). iface eth1 inet static address 192.168.150.13 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.150.1 up iwconfig eth1 mode ad-hoc essid roach channel 5 up cp /etc/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf.wlan.bak up cp /etc/resolv.conf.wlan /etc/resolv.conf down cp /etc/resolv.conf.wlan.bak /etc/resolv.conf broadcast 192.168.150.255 network 192.168.150.0 You can ignore the resolv.conf stuff of course -Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
