Stand down all you guys attempting to help with my problem. All is now solved. I took the easy way out, after a bit of internet reading. My advice to anyone else suffering from not being able to get their internal wireless card to work under 10.4 LTS is to do as follows:- 1. Via System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager search for Network Management Framework and mark the obvious ones for removal 2. Then apply. (but see health warning at 3 below first) 3. Don't worry, it should not lose your connection as such whether that is via a hardwire interface or a USB Adaptor (can't vouch for the latter though - I'm guessing). If you are feeling unlucky, then do step 4 below before applying. 4. Still in Synaptic Package Manager search for wicd and mark all you see for installation. You should be able to download the packages without actually installing them if you chickened out at step 2 and 3 above. If you went ahead then once all is finished you should be able to go to Applications > Internet > Wicd Network Manager. You should see all your interfaces - wired, inbuilt wifi card and probably any USB or even pcmcia adapators. Just configure simply - decide your preference and connect. Simple. Shutdown and the re-boot and all is well with the world! Now why the heck wicd as the network manager is not part of 10.04 as the standard as opposed to the offering, I simply do not know. DaveG
