I've been watching this thread with interest as I'm trying to do the same thing with a PCMCIA wireless Belkin Card. I 'm just confused about a couple of items. What does "ndiswrapper on FC2 mean"? Also what wireless tools packages are emerged? Ironically I installed PCMCIA card services, put in the card, edited /etc/conf.d/net to make eth0 go up on DHCP and it "sort of" works. By that I mean everything runs OK but I notice an error on boot where there is an obvious conflict with eth0. Regards, Richard -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
