You'll need to setup /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts with the settings for your wireless network. for example, mine looks like this: *,*,*,00:06:25:*) INFO="Instant Wireless Network PC Card" #ESSID="rit" ESSID="any" MODE="Ad-Hoc" RATE="auto" FREQ="2" ;; then setup network.opts with your network settings You may have to add an entry to your /etc/pcmcia/config file. I know I had to for the same card. I added this: card "Linksys WPC11 11Mbps 802.11b WLAN Card" version "The Linksys Group, Inc.", "Instant Wireless Network PC Card", "ISL37300P", "RevA" bind "orinoco_cs" But yours may be slightly different. Now run /etc/init.d/pcmcia start or do rc-update add pcmcia default. You should hear a click or a beep. If not, try removing your card and then putting it back in. Then type ifconfig to see if it brought up your network. Or emerge 'wavemon' to see if you are getting a wireless signal. Check the log files if there is a problem. Good luck. -- Zachary P.
