I am not surprised you do not see prism2_cs appear in the driver list. Drivers for pcmcia cards are always autodetected. When you say nothing happens when you do a modprobe, that is actually quite positive. It implies the driver is loading, and is not being rejected. What do you see if you do lsmod | grep prism after the modprobe? That will tell us if the driver is loading. And what do you see if you do tail -n 30 /var/log/syslog ? Any entries about pcmcia or prism? And iwconfig ? There is one other thing I forgot to check. The pcmcia service has to be started. In a root terminal enter service pcmcia restart You should hear two beeps as it restarts, then do tail -n 30 /var/log/syslog again to see what it says. derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
