Dan, Start by just typing ifconfig That will list your network interfaces. Does it show a wlan0 interface? If not, try ifconfig wlan0 up If you do have wlan0 up then something like ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.102 route add default gw 192.168.0.1 You could also try one of these to get dhcp address dhclient wlan0 dhcpd wlan0 Other than the basic interface configuration above, you also need to set the wireless ssid and other related wifi parameters, check the web for details, there is tons of info on this. -- Doug ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan Murphy" <thedanmint551@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Tuesday, August 14, 2007 3:15 PM Subject: Configuring slackware for a wireless device. > Hi all. > I recently installed a Linksys Wusb 11 E wireless card on my old dual boot > 200 MHZ Pentium.
