Of course I also rebooted just to be sure the new kernel was running. But no joy with getting it to actually send/receive anything over the wireless network.
Any guru out there want to guide me into the light and get this thing working? Much appreciate and thanks in advance...

Marc, I'm no guru with Encore cards, but common problems with wireless are often associated with encryption methods used (wep, wpa, wpa-2). Post the output of iwconfig so we can look at the connection stats. If you want, you can blank the encryption key info (no that it matters) like this: 16:48 alchemy:~/dev/prg/ccpp/lib/gsl> sudo iwconfig <snip> ath0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"skyline" Nickname:"" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz Access Point: 00:23:69:5C:FD:B6 Bit Rate:48 Mb/s Tx-Power:16 dBm Sensitivity=1/1 Retry:off RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:****-****-****-****-992A-E954-D3CD-56BC Security mode:restricted Power Management:off Link Quality=46/70 Signal level=-49 dBm Noise level=-95 dBm Rx invalid nwid:976013 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 <snip> Also, have you ever had wireless working on 11.2? We will need to make sure the driver is loaded. (we will know once we see the iwconfig info). Check yast to see when it is being loaded ('on boot', 'on cable connection', 'hotplug', etc..) I don't know whether encore uses wpa_supplicant for encryption or not, but if it does, configuring wpa_supplicant is separate from setting the card up in yast. Somebody here will know what it takes to get the encore card going. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
