My NetworkManager doesn't work (that's another problem, but low
priority), and it is my intention to use wpa_supplicant and dhclient
from the command line. But obviously, if I can't see anything
with ifconfig, I can't do that. ifconfig did work before I
made the changes. With regard do compatibility between the firmware
and the driver, I could not say. Maybe that is the problem.
Thanks for your help.
Mike.
