Thanks, Richard. I'm not sure how I did it, but suddenly it 'just worked'. What I can't do is /etc/init.d/net.eth1 restart If I shut it down, then I need to either reboot or kill the ipw3945d, then start it again. I put the ipw3956d call in /etc/conf.d/local.start, which brings it up fine. Very kludged, but maybe once I get X running at more than 1024x768 I'll spend more time on it. Getting the wireless part working so I could emerge away from a switch was the first biggie. Peter -- clone, n: 1. An exact duplicate, as in "our product is a clone of their product." 2.
