Thank you for you quick response.

Linux PCMCIA Card Services 3.1.15

I do the following: insmod /lib/modules/2.2.13/pcmcia/wvlan_cs.o port_type=3 station_name=mypc and get the following in the log (/var/log/messages):
wvlan_cs: WaveLAN/IEEE PCMCIA driver v1.0.4 wvlan_cs: (c) Adreas Neuhaus <andy@fasta.fh-dortmund.de> that's it... In addition, trying to do "ifconfig wvlan0 up" gives me a "wvlan0: No such device"... and doing "iwconfig wvlan0" gives me "wvlan0 no wireless extensions." Is there more you need? what am I doing wrong here... FYI: kernel: 2.2.13 (slackware 7.0 distro), Card Services: 3.1.15, Firmware Version: 4.52 Thanks again Avijit
