The OP replied off-list with his output from dmesg. I'm sending it back to the list in the off-chance that someone knows more about this wireless adapter. -Damian ----- Forwarded message from Rem P Roberti <remegius@comcast.net> ----- Delivered-To: dwiest@vailsys.com X-ASG-Debug-ID: 1163208958-311e00bd0000-Xqh92z X-Barracuda-URL: http://dfspam01.vail:80/cgi-bin/mark.cgi X-Barracuda-Connect: cprobd02.vailsys.com[63.210.102.130] X-Barracuda-Start-Time: 1163208958 Date: Fri, 10 Nov 2006 17:35:54 -0800 From: Rem P Roberti <remegius@comcast.net> User-Agent: Thunderbird 1.5.0.8 (X11/20061109) To: Damian Wiest <dwiest@vailsys.com> X-ASG-Orig-Subj: Re: Laptop Wireless Subject: Re: Laptop Wireless In-Reply-To: <20061111005109.GE25030@dfwdamian.vail> X-Barracuda-Bayes: INNOCENT GLOBAL 0.5363 1.0000 0.7500 X-Barracuda-Virus-Scanned: by Barracuda Spam Firewall at vailsys.com X-Barracuda-Spam-Score: 1.25 X-Barracuda-Spam-Status: No, SCORE=1.25 using global scores of TAG_LEVEL=2.8 QUARANTINE_LEVEL=3.5 KILL_LEVEL=7.5 tests=BSF_RULE7568M X-Barracuda-Spam-Report: Code version 3.02, rules version 3.0.25571 Rule breakdown below pts rule name description ---- ---------------------- -------------------------------------------------- 0.50 BSF_RULE7568M BODY: Custom Rule 7568M >On Sun, Nov 05, 2006 at 07:57:03AM -0800, Rem P Roberti wrote: > >>Would someone point me in the right direction here.

Indeed, when I looked at the list of wireless cards in the hardware list the Belkin wireless card was nowhere to be found. It may be that there is no driver for this particular card, and that I may just have to get another card. What do you think? Rem ----- End forwarded message -----
