You don't need to do so. In fact, most work would be something like this: 1. Create /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ath0 as regular for network interfaces: DEVICE=ath0 BOOTPROTO=dhcp ONBOOT=no WIRELESS_ESSID="wireless" 2. Install hotplug package. It would allow you to automatically execute interface creation during card insert (and shut the interface down when card is removed). 3. Make sure that your PCI ID for the card is known by the driver. I would suggest you to send pciscan -v output here first and then we'll decide how to go. -- / Alexander Bokovoy Samba Team http://www.samba.org/ ALT Linux Team http://www.altlinux.org/ Midgard Project Ry http://www.midgard-project.org/
