Mandrake supplies the driver but not the Intel proprietary firmware. Go here http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/firmware.php download the correct .tar.gz file To uncompress the file just click on it with konqueror. Extract the firmware and put it into /lib/hotplug/firmware You will need to be root user to do that so open up a root copy of konqueror with Alt+F2 and type 'kdesu konqueror' in the box. Reboot and the firmware should load and you should be able to run through the new connection wizard in MandrakeControl Centre. I hope I got that right since I do not actually own one of those. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
