I've come to the conclusion that a clean install of DEBIAN is the best

have alot of things I simply dont want to haggle with, uninstalling and 
reconfiguring, but they do automatically get my wirelss card working.  
It's easier or clearner for me to just get a clean install from debian 
and struggle thru to the bitter end.

Can anyone help me with this project, I'm not entirely new to linux but 
I'm by no means a seasoned user.

Thanks and I'm looking forward to your help.


I have used the linksys wdt11 card. It uses the wpc11 to work in a 
desktop. All I did was compile the wireless part of network kernel 
configeration into the kernel. I have done this with kernels 2.6.0 2.6.1 
and 2.6.2 . Have you compiles your own kernel?
I must admit that I set up debian sarge with normal lan, then disabled 
the lan in MB and installed the linksys card and all worked well.
Good Luck!
