I apologize because I know this subject has been run over countless times. I bought a Toshiba PORTEGE 3490CT for my studies. During installation, I skipped the network configuration. Now I am struggling a bit to gain access to the wireless network. My card is recognized by YaST. I've been to other forum and made change to the etc/pcmcia/config file adding : card "NETGEAR MA401RA Wireless PC" manfid: 0x000b, 0x7300 bind "orinoco_cs" (manfid and name obtain with cardctl ident) Using Yast I configured it to be eth1 hotplugged ifconfig returns me: eth0 Lien encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:39:4B:95:1F inet adr:192.168.0.6 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Masque:255.255.255.0 adr inet6: fe80::200:39ff:fe4b:951f/64 Scope:Lien UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:872 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:829 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 lg file transmission:1000 RX bytes:392071 (382.8 Kb) TX bytes:86472 (84.4 Kb) lo Lien encap:Boucle locale inet adr:127.0.0.1 Masque:255.0.0.0 adr inet6: ::1/128 Scope:Hôte UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:82 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:82 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 lg file transmission:0 RX bytes:5316 (5.1 Kb) TX bytes:5316 (5.1 Kb) iwconfig returns me : lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. sit0 no wireless extensions. There is no eth1. But the card is recognized. I am puzzled because I achieved once to have my wlan access without much problem, but I can't do it again. I am puzzled because I didn't remember how I did it. (THIS is really making me mad) if any precision needed I will be glad to give. Thanks

Have you setup the interface config to use eth1? To see if YAST did that for you go to /etc/sysconfig/network and see if there is an ifcfg-eth1. if there isn't you'll either have to have yast reconfig it or you can copy ifcfg-eth0 to ifcfg-eth1 and change the IP if its not DHCP. Even though its hotplug its still just like any other interface. -- Brian Dominguez System Administrator linuxjunkies.com

BOOTPROTO='dhcp' MTU='' REMOTE_IPADDR='' STARTMODE='hotplug' _nm_name='static-0' WIRELESS='yes' WIRELESS_ESSID='Wireless boogie' WIRELESS_MODE='managed' And I rebooted the network using /etc/rc.d/network restart Afterward, I have no more network (eth-id-00:00:__:__:__:__ doesn't work anymore). I had to delete all configuration for network devices on YaST reboot and so on... I wish I could remind how I did the first time :( PS : when I plug the WLAN card, I have : Message from syslogd@hexxagon at Sat Oct 2 19:18:52 2004 ... hexxagon kernel: Disabling IRQ #11
