It is either "wlan" or "rausb". Unless off cour= se you > edited the /etc/modprobe.conf file to load the driver with the rt73 i= nterface name, > but that can be considered "user configuration". Ok. Upon further investigation the name was rausb0. The rt73 was setu= p in /etc/modprobe.conf. So is the name going to be wlan0 from now on? The short version: I am stuck on a project where the last guy setup everything, didn't doc= ument anything, and left. I am now trying to figure all of this stuff = out. I am stuck using Slackware. A hybrid of 9 and 10. I am a Fedora= user so very little is where I except it to be. I am trying to figure= everything out and move to centos with a 2.6.24.x kernel (needed for t= he new hardware this monstrosity of an application is moving to). =20 Thanks, _________________________________________________________________ Climb to the top of the charts!=A0Play the word scramble challenge with= star power. http://club.live.com/star_shuffle.aspx?icid=3Dstarshuffle_wlmailtextlin= k_jan- 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
