Wireless Network Config Problem :((

[Christoph Georgi]

Boncerning the driver: Have a look at the output of /var/log/messages as 
you plug in your card. It should state the driver that's getting loaded 
(or that is already loaded). Or have a look at lsmod and see what 
modules are loaded. Maybe doing '$ lsmod | grep ipw' get you faster to 
the module?!

Concerning the GUI: Have a look in synaptic. Search for "wireless" in 
"description and name" and see what you can find. I'm not using any GUI 
for my wireless, so I can't help you out further. Sorry.

I hope everything else works fine know.

regards
