So your router manages the wireless connexion? Or is this somethng the
Linux computer should do?
If it's the router that's supposed to do the job, then the following
questions don't matter.
I drilled holes in the closet and put cat 5 cable through the floors to
connect the computers
I will have to take apart the unix machine to look at the card.
No need
I do not know how to do ispci-v-v is that done in my home page?
Open a terminal window, In KDE, it's in the System menu (konsole or
terminal, I can't get that bit of menu to show!), in Gnome I think it's
Terminal in the Accessories menu.
Type the command like this:
[summer@bilby ~]$ /sbin/lspci

Get more information about one card like this:
[summer@bilby ~]$ /sbin/lspci -v -v -n -s 00:12.0

[summer@bilby ~]$
That's way better info than you will get by looking at the card!
Note: I don't have a PCI wireless card handy.
I am very new to this. I have used DOS and Win 3, 95 and 98
I do not know what pebble is.
Didn't I say? it's a Linux distro built for wireless networking. It used
to be here, but seems to have gone missing:
http://www.nycwireless.net/pebble/
There's been no mail to its list in almost 18 months, so I guess it's died.

You haven't responed to my earilier post.
We need the specifics of you set up; are you using a wireless router
or do you have PCI card in your Linux box? What brand? What does
"lspci -v -v" reveal?
Have you tried pebble? Pebble is designed for what I think you want,
and if that works then maybe we can extrapolate. If Pebble doesn't
work, ask its supporters for help; if they can't get Pebble working,
there's little chance for us.
