Dear ttuuxxx.

Worked like a charm. Having fun playing with the settings. Neat little util.

If it's not to much trouble I'd love to know how you created the pet. Maybe you could point me in the right direction.

Thanks again.

Rich

ttuuxxx,

That's fantastic!

I'll give it a go.

Yours,

Rich

With the file libgdk_imlib.so.2 I could only find libgdk_imlib.so.1 it calls libgdk_imlib.so.1.9.15. I'm going to change the file name to libgdk_imlib.so.2 ...

Dear Tempestuous,

Thanks very, very much. That did the trick!!!

Yours,

Rich

The kernel is 2.6.21.7 {i686} and the module is ipw3945. iwl3945 is what it should be using. The weird thing is that this worked before using the live cd and now that won't work. ??????????

Thanks for trying to help Greg. Yes, I've tried about ever combination of ifconfig and iwconfig and the connection wizard. It works with Nimblex which identifies the wireless at wlan0. Here is some resent output: # ifconfig eth0 up # iwconfig eth0 essid XXXX Error for wireless request "Set ESSI...
