To install you'll need the driver disk, and you must load the if_an driver (I think that's what it's called) when prompted, assuming you have chosen to load the driver disk of course. Then I think you are prompted to start the holographic shell if you want. Choose yes, then from the command line configure the card with ifconfig an0 wepmode on wepkey 0x1111111111abcdef1111111111 ssid ssid-name stationname your-pc-name. Substitute the key, ssid-name and your-pc-name with the correct values. You may need to choose the authmode as well, if you're not using the default open mode (open is the more secure mode). Feel free to type in an IP address also. You may even need ifconfig an0 on (to turn it on). Then back to the install process and away you go. I found the options in the sysinstall screen for the NIC did not work for me, hence the holographic shell to the rescue! Any errors in these instructions are because a) it's 1am and b) I did this a couple of weeks ago, and am recalling from memory! Scott > Date: Mon, 8 Mar 2004 15:08:44 -0500 > From: "Ralph M.
