I do tail /var/log/messages and in some cases actually see the connection get created to the AP, it's then that I launch my browser and all is well. If I launch my browser prior to seeing the ack from the AP I seem to mess the parade up. I have found that if I wait till I'm in "X" and have a root xterm going "then" insert my card I can watch the full ballet between the nic and the AP and have my browser ready to launch. Then all is well. -- Bill Schoolcraft PO Box 210076 San Francisco, CA 94121 "UNIX, A Way of Life." http://billschoolcraft.com
