I've never had much luck getting people to support a competitor's (Dell)

Sorry, no, I'm using a linksys pcmcia card. Went to some trouble to get

Yes I do. He sounds like he's already done the work. Mandrake may have
picked it up (see above).
If he still needs a tester, I happen to be running 2.2.18 as he
requests.
Thanks for the info.
