I let it run for a couple minutes, then removed the card.

Just wanted to let you know I'm working on this. You wouldn't think it so hard, but the other laptop is my wife's "don't-you-dare-touch-this-I-need-it-for-my-masters" Windows laptop. Live CD works, but the internal card is a Dell 1470 and my other wireless card is a wi0 b-only. So I'm reading up on ndiswrapper this weekend. Will be back as soon as I get an adequate sniffer working. > BTW I think you're missing a deftxkey 1 in your ifconfig line. Thanks. ==ml -- Michael W.
