Hi, I can't help you much with the actual device as I have never worked with wireless devices, however here are a few things to try: I'll presume this is a module loading porblem. -what does chkconfig -a show? -have you checked /var/messages for any error messages? -run lsmod to see if any wireless related mods are installed. If there are any like the one you know fails, remove them with: rmmod <modules_name> -do you know the module name? you could try loading it with: modprobe <module_name> -look in your /etc/modules.conf~ file, it is the previous version of /etc/modules.conf and may show what options the module used to get. (and the module name as well.) -- Pete Nesbitt, rhce -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
