OK That is the atmelwlandriver The good news for you is that it is already installed in your Mandrake 9.2. The bad news is the lvnet and xvnet utilities you need to set it up is not installed. The other bad news is that that driver is a bit of a dog IMO But the other good news is that there is another driver which is easier to set up and more reliable. I have a page on setting it up here http://www.jennings.homelinux.net/atmel_92.html If you have trouble getting it working it may be possible that that manufacturer of your device is not known to the driver. In which case install the usbview package, and run KMenu>Configuration>Hardware>Usbview and let me know the manufacturer and product codes derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net
