Now, how to enable my wireless device?
I really have no idea. Man iwconfig doesn't give me clue.
Wireless in linux is verry new to me.
Tnx.

run iwconfig so you know which eth ow wlan you will use; then you will have to enable it on /etc/rc.d/rc.inetd1.conf

Have you downloaded and installed the firmware into /lib/firmware?

install ieee80211 subsystem also (http://ieee80211.sf.net)
make sure you are using firmware version 3.0
i wrote a small article to activate the WLAN in Centrino : http://www.informatix.or.id/willy/ac...o-on-linux.php
