Hi There, I have recently installed 4.8R on my IBM Thinkpad notebook which fortunately includes a wireless NIC. The nic is recognised as wi0 for which I am grateful as Linux did not recognise the card first time around. Now I often move between networks and having to set the wepkey and ssid etc etc by hand will become very tiresome very quickly. I was wondering if any one can point me in the direction of a better way to set these. I am guessing that this will still have to be done after the boot but what do people use ? I was able to get the interface up and ping other hosts so no problems there but can this NIC be set for dhcp rather than having to go through the grief of setting everything manually ? Any pointers or links to howto are much appreciated. Thanks in Advance LukeK
