I'm still not getting any messages in /var/log/messages or 
/var/log/dmesg about this card but I ignored that and tried some 
other things out.

OK, I found out the Tools were already there and installed.  
Interesting, it looks like everthing is there and runing but it 
doesnt' want to be recognized enought to get the job done.

FC2 has a GUI setup for the card, it sees it and can do 
everything except initalize it.  The card does light up much 
brigher now and the data light does flash, not much but it's 
flashing.

"ifconfig" shows packets going in and out so I'm getting to think 
it's outside the machine. 

Tomorrow I shut down all security on the hub and see what happens 
- I may have it so tight I can't get in.

Are there any tools that tell you about signals the card has 
found?  I know my son's notebook found 3 signals while at home 
(one from our hub and the others from?)

I'll do some more reading about the tools and see where I can get 
with that.

I also have used UP2DATE to upgrade all my software produced 
after my CD's were produced - all except the kernel.  If I 
decided to start again from scratch I'll upgrade that first.

Thanks for all the help so far.  Any wild ideas or suggestions 
where to read I'm all for it.

Thanks,

Brad
