I am actually using wireless at the moment. What I have done, is to set up the configuration for the interface, in my case being eth1 in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf. eth0 is my ethernet interface in this case. I simply added an alias to my modules.conf/modprobe.conf files. alias eth1 ipw2100 You then have to go through /et/rc.d/rc.wireless.conf to set things like ESSID and wep key. hth Luke
