In theory, the Win2k and WinXP drivers should both work, though admittedly I only experimented with the XP ones myself. I suppose since I have sample Centrino cards, I should be able to track this down, but if you could elaborate on what problems you had with the Win2k drivers, it would help. > I can pull up to about > 660Kbyte/s across it.

WEP is supported, as are both infrastructure and ad-hoc mode: Sample ad-hoc mode initialization: # ifconfig ndis0 mediaopt adhoc # ifconfig ndis0 ssid "yournetname" # ifconfig ndis0 wepmode on # ifconfig ndis0 wepkey 0x12345678901234567890123456 Sample infrastructure mode initialization: # ifconfig ndis0 media autoselect # ifconfig ndis0 ssid "yournetname" # ifconfig ndis0 wepmode on # ifconfig ndis0 wepkey 0x12345678901234567890123456 Note: WEP keys should be either 10 or 26 hex digits (or 5/13 ASCII characters) in length (which corresponds to the 40/128 bit key sizes, respectively). Any other size likely won't work. You should also be able to combine these into a single command: # ifconfig ndis0 10.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 up ssid "yournetname" mediaopt adhoc wepmode on wepkey 0x12345678901234567890123456 up -Bill -- ============================================================================= -Bill Paul (510) 749-2329 | Senior Engineer, Master of Unix-Fu wpaul@windriver.com | Wind River Systems ============================================================================= you're just BEGGING to face the moose =============================================================================
