Yet, the wireless info that I would expect to be there isn't. Very odd. I'm assuming it's a Mandrakism. I don't have the ability to run the Mandrake install right now as the box is remote and is serving in a firewall capacity using a parallel install of RedHat.

config info location in Mandrake
Speaking of Mandrake, where does config info normally get stored. Specifically I'm trying to find wireless data such as ESSID, mode and others. This is off the remanents of an 8.2 install. The card used is a WMP11 which is a direct pci interface. http://www.linksys.com/products/product.asp?grid=33scid=36prid=196 I've looked in the usual places /etc/pcmcia /etc/sysconfig but am not finding the files those configs are stored in.
