That is a Prism2 card. The driver should already be present in Mandrake. (assuming you are running Mandrake 9.2) You should not need to compile anything. Install the wireless-tools RPM from your CDs and then when you plug your PCMCIA card in you should hear two beeps of different tone. Open a terminal, enter su to become root and enter iwconfig If the card has been recognised you should see something there. Then just go through the Wizard in Mandrake Control Centre>Network and hopefully it will be able to configure the card for you. derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
