Okay, I've now got my Dell Inspiron 110 working wireless with a Dlink 514 
router and Zyair B100 card, and now I've got a few more questions. :-)

If I insert the card after I bootup, then I have to issue both a:

service network restart (or ifup wlan0)
mount -a (to get my NFS mount recognized)
Is there a file somewhere that I can put these commands into so that if the 
card is plugged in, they automagically get executed? Its not that big a deal 
to do this, but it seems like there should be another way.

Thank!

PS I dropped the Dlink DWL 650 card - seems I had one of the revisions with 
chipset changes that is not supported by Linux. Thanks to Marc R. for trying 
to help with that anyways.

 

 

Well I'm not sure about your NFS mount, but to get the connection 
started up on boot, edit your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0 
to also include ONBOOT=yes.
