Thanks so much, Derek. It seems that my adaptor is not recognized by the OS. However, when I write: iwconfig. the right parameters of the wireless networking appear in eth0. I just get info; I do not know how to use it as a configuration utility. Please tell me where I find the drivers you recommend and how to load them. For the driver provided by SMC, I get a configuration utility which I have used already. Seems the driver is properly configured now, but I do not even know its name. Teilhard.
