I was wondering, how do you find out what the name of the interface that corresponds to your new network device? How do you know your wireless card is eth2, and not wlan0, or ath0? Technical details: I have a new LInksys Wireless-G Portable USB Adapter, version 4. It has the RT2500USB chipset, I'm running Debian (newest Kanotix), with 2.6.11-kanotix-11. I needed to get the ural driver from: http://etudiants.insia.org/~jbobbio/ural-linux/ I installed it using %make %su #make install #modprobe ural. which created a new module in /lib/modules/.... dmesg doesn't complain, and says it brings up ural to run the thing, but I don't know how to actually use it to connect. I think it's working, or can work, but I don't know how to command it to _connect_. Add to that Kanotix doesn't set up the ifup/ifdown scripts, and a blithe mention of something called wpa_supplicant. (I'm used to pain and suffering trying to get wireless cards working with Debian, but this little trick, playing invisible, was unexpected.) -Sebastien
