I think there's a disconnect between you and me. Yes, you've said this 
before and this is what I thought I was doing. Maybe I'm being obtuse 
here. If you mean manually configure my wireless devices so that they 
can "connect" to my router, which is a dhcp server--or a server in a 
"hot spot"--that's what I have tried to do. I have an almost identical 
setup in an older laptop. There only are two differences: the interface 
is a pcmcia card and there is no init script for dhcp. The dhclient 
scripts for my wireless card and the pcmcia card are identical.

Given this, could you be a little more explicit when you say "you have 
to do it yourself."

Thanks,

Dan
