I have a gold card working and am using WEP. I am now using the pcmcia-cs route and hotplug but was using kernel options successfully; IIRC there are two places to enable Lucent Wavelan/Orinoco in the kernel. I notice that the hotplug route loads Orinoco and Hermes for this card if that helps. I don't use wireless often so I tend to use a script to set it up when I want. This uses the wireless tools package (emerge wireless-tools) and goes something like this: iwconfig eth0 essid string iwconfig eth0 enc string dhcpcd eth0 ifconfig|grep 'inet addr' The strings above represent the station id and the encryption keyword. The ifconfig just tells me which address I was allocated. You need root permissions to run iwconfig in most cases. Hope this helps. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
