Hi, I'm trying to get running just a simple WLAN-connection with SL 10.1 RC2 (and older) but I have no success :-( Hardware is an IBM ThinkPad T22 and installation is a Gnome-system. First I tried two D-Link-Cardbus-Cards (DWL-G650, DWL-AG660) which are not recognized at all (possibly you're able to get them running with ndiswrapper or whatever, but it should run mostly out of the box with SL 10.1). Then I tried a SMC 2835W (Part-No. 99-012084-295) that looks quite good, the card is recognized, I can set my encryption and after putting the firmware into the correct directory (/lib/firmware/isl3890) it seems to work (Link-LED is on, ACT-LED sometimes). But I don't get an ip-connection, I tried it on two accesspoints (both FritzBox Phon/WLAN but with different configurations), without security, with WEP and with WPA-PSK but it's not working. The log tells me the following: -------------------------------------------------- Apr 28 22:14:21 lx-pc-gg kernel: pccard: CardBus card inserted into slot 0 Apr 28 22:14:21 lx-pc-gg syslog-ng[2288]: Changing permissions on special file /dev/xconsole Apr 28 22:14:21 lx-pc-gg syslog-ng[2288]: Changing permissions on special file /dev/tty10 Apr 28 22:14:21 lx-pc-gg kernel: PCI: Enabling device 0000:02:00.0 (0000 -> 0002) Apr 28 22:14:21 lx-pc-gg kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:00.0[A] -> Link [LNKA] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11 Apr 28 22:14:21 lx-pc-gg kernel: eth1: resetting device...
