Hi again Wayne, On the Acer website they do have the Windows XP driver for the Aspire 3500. It's called Atheros Wireless LAN B+G Driver 4.0.0.14001. I can give it a try with ndiswrapper.

I would suggest you read (print) all of the UserDocs from the madwifi site. I bound my copies and used them quite a bit when I get started. Get your /etc/network/interfaces setup using those docs and refer, if needed, to the debian-reference (you have installed that, right), and you are in the pink. I haven't checked lately but there are some debian realated pages in the UserDocs you might find interesting. Way to go Jonathan!

I found an AP near our flat and we'll be able to got there and try to get the thing connected. There hardest part is being sure the correct driver is installed correctly. The results from ifconfig seem to be ok and iwconfig wlan0 also produced reasonable results. Anyway we'll have a go at connecting to an open network tomorrow.

Wayne Hi Wayne, Seems to work. ndiswrapper seemed happy with the set up and nicely installed the XP drivers. I'm not near an AP but I noticed that kwifimanager has a green bar indicating dl-ul speed now that it didn't have before. We'll take the laptop to an AP point and give it a try. I'll report the results later in the day. Cheers, Jonathan -- Registerd Linux user #445917 at http://counter.li.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
