It was inserted. Loading the module isn't what causes the laptop to lockup, it's when I run the "ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.15 up" when it locks hard. At the moment I'm taking it slow for now....I just slaughtered (by accident) my home box and the laptop in question has most of the more recent files copied on to it. Don't want to lose the back-ups as well:o( BTW, you wrote in an earlier reply: >Once done this should be what you need in /etc/pcmcia/config > >card "realtek", "Rtl8180" > manfid 0x0000, 0x024c > bind "rtl8180_24x" I'm confused. Shouldn't rtl8180_24x be defined in the device listings first, before it's usable? Good luck, HarM
