Thanks for the reply. I was using 1.4.21 and had the wlan addon working. But now that I have gone to 2.0.4 the hostap_cs driver that comes with IPCop's 2.6 kernel is broken. The hostap_cs driver is the one that supports my hardware but it cannot be loaded in the kernel? So I guess I'll have to wait for 2.1 because they probably won't fix the hostap_cs driver issue? Thanks again for the info. Ralph ----------------original message----------------- From: "David W Studeman" dws...@ov... To: ipc...@li...
