It's my understanding (perhaps flawed) that WEP is currently fully functional only with the WaveLAN (Lucent/Orinoco) cards, so I have two Gold 128-bit WEP cards on the way to me ($106.50 at http://www.techstore.com). But in the meantime, I was glad to get the SMC2632W working great (without WEP) in my Toshiba Portege and in my buddy's ThinkPad X20, thanks to your excellent suggestions. BTW, perhaps you or some of the other folks on the list can answer a couple of questions for me. Note the following from my configuration: /etc/pccard.conf: card "SMC" "SMC2632W" config 0x1 "wi" 3 0x10000 insert /etc/pccard_ether $device insert /etc/start_wi0 remove /sbin/ifconfig $device delete /etc/start_wi0: #!/bin/sh wicontrol -i wi0 -p 1 The first question is, is it correct to place the second insert for the start_wi0 shell script in pccard.conf? If not, where should the script be executed? If so, should it precede the insert for pccard_ether? I've seen folks stick multiple inserts in pccard.conf, so I'm assuming it's okay to have more than one. I've even seen wicontrol statements placed directly in pccard.conf instead of in a separate script, the way I'm doing it. I guess what I'm getting at is, what is the standard, kosher, USDA-approved method of adding wicontrol commands? As for the second question, the example pccard.conf you sent me had the line: config 0x1 "wi" 10 0x10000 I changed 10 to 3, since that was the interrupt that the card seemed to be set at by default. However, I did not change the 0x10000 address, even though dmesg reports the SMC's address range as 0x0240-0x024f. I've seen some entries in pccard.conf with config 0x1 "wi" ? I have also seen this: config auto "wi" ? But the SMC works nonetheless with 0x1 and 0x10000, so I guess I'm a little confused about this address issue in the config statement, and I can't seem to dig up an explanation in the docs. Thanks for your invaluable help. .\\ichelle --------------------- Michelle Brownsworth System Administrator PrimeLogic Communications http://www.primelogic.com --============_-1215080242==_ma============ Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" <!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD W3 HTML//EN"> <html><head><style type="text/css"><!-- blockquote, dl, ul, ol, li { margin-top: 0 ; margin-bottom: 0 } --></style><title>RE: Boot hangs on mounting root with wireless card ins</title></head><body> <blockquote type="cite" cite>> The SMC card works flawlessly,<br> > even in DHCP mode.<br> <br> Interesting.
