The SMC2662W uses the atmel chip set. There is a driver for that in Mandrake 9.1 The atmelwlandriver, but I find it quite unreliable and not that easy to set up. There is an alternative driver at76c503a which works a lot better. There are instructions on how to compile it on my web site http://www.jennings.homelinux.net/modules.php?name=Sections&op=viewarticle&artid=17 You may need to add the SMC device to the list of supported devices. My page describes how to do that. Also do not forget to install the kernel-source RPM which matches the kernel you are using. The only other thing you need is the gcc compiler RPM. derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
