But I have to be able to use the wifi driver(ATH5K). There's no problem connecting from Xandros but when I boot the USB key with rescueCD I cannot connect. When the USB key boots one of the messages that flies past is "Setting up network". No, it doesn't, unless it means ethernet, which I don't have access to. When boot is finished I'm told to run net-setup. OK, I run Code: cat /proc/net/wireless and find I'm using wanl0 and run net-setup which finds the right driver OK. Then I run Code: iwlist wanl0 scan and it finds the wifi. So I use the info it finds, essid, channel etc in iwconfig eg Code: iwconfig wlan0 essid "Hot-spot name" and so forth. I've tried it at several places which are open and require no key. And at my own place where a key is required. But it does no good I can't even ping a URL. Can anybody help? I hate Xandros, it reminds me of Win98! __________________________________________________________________ Looking for the perfect gift? Give the gift of Flickr! http://www.flickr.com/gift/
