Yep, I could be missing the concept of modules entirely. =20 The driver I was using before had the interface name of rt73. When I s= ee=20 usbcore: registered new interface driver rt73usb I think the interface name is rt73usb. Maybe change the line to read=20 usbcore: registered new interface driver rt73usb using name wlan0 so there is no confusing us newbies. =20 Thanks, _________________________________________________________________ Need to know the score, the latest news, or you need your Hotmail=AE-ge= t your "fix". http://www.msnmobilefix.com/Default.aspx- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireles= s" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
