Working card: LINKSYS WPC11 v.3.0 wavemon also works very well. If anyone has weak signal/too much noise, they might check www.turnpoint.net for the very clear instructions on how to make an antenna. I was able to double the strength of a signal with a .99 can of spaghetti sauce, an inch and a half of copper wire, and a $20 antenna lead in kit from Fleers & Somebody (see ref in above url). Highly recommended. Thanks for DSL, a terrific job.

Hey ke4nt1 ...

First off thanx for your responce ...
Yea... I tryed wlanctl-ng wlan0 and so on... I get "no such device".
My Belkin card is seen by DSL... I set up with "netcardconfig". I did "ifconfig" and everything is configured right i.p. address, br. address, everything... Dillo, and Links Hacked both try to connect... Wait a few seconds as it trys to connect, but no luck... I'm right there... I'm in the zone to connect, but no luck... I know that socket 0 is not seen... I mean socket 1 is seen... But not socket 0. Could that be the problem?

Please share with us the output of your ifconfig and iwconfig..

You say it recognizes the card upon bootup, so when it sees
the card in the pcmcia bootup scan, you SEE the name of your card on screen.

than it usually says something like "unnown wireless card wlan0 ignored"
or "ignoring unknown card on eth0"

Do you know what chipset / driver - the card - has / wants to find

"Hey ke4nt1 ...
Quick responce THANX...
Yea... I'm getting "ignoring unknown card eth0"
Good question... Yea... I don't know the chipset/driver... How do I find that info out? And then what do I do

As far as my output for "ifconfig", all the right info shows up. I'll have to write it down and post it for ya... Yea... as far as "iwconfig", I just get a console for like a mila-second and nothing. It disappears...
