Ok, I replaced my laptop's hard drive and while I was at it upgraded to Mandrake 9.1. I'm trying to get wireless working but something seems to have changed. On my old machine (Mandrake 8.x) I had an interface wlan0 configured, and kept eth0 for my Xircom ethernet card. Mandrake 9 seems to detect my wireless Netgear card, but wants to call it eth0. I can live with that. The problem is that it's not working and I can't just copy my old scripts from the other box because they're all on wlan0. In particular, the setup wizard wants me to specify a bunch of wireless parameters to be associated with the network device, such as NWID, FREQ (but no CHANNEL, which I would have expected) and WEP KEY. In particular I know my wep key but don't know what format it wants me to type it in. I've been googling around for some help but haven't found anything yet. Duane
