2.6.18-5 doesnt find my wireless interface at all.
And
that even though i upgraded to 2.6.18-6, this isnt
given to me as an option when i boot. Any thoughts
about those?

Let's see which kernel versions are installed
actually, please post the
r>esult of:

$ dpkg -l linux-image-2.6*

Sorry about the formatting.

I dont know where 2.6.18-6 is--the update applet on
the panel told me there was an update, i ran it, it
said
that 2.6.18-6 was ready, i installed it, but now its
not there, i guess.

What is your Wi-Fi chip? Maybe you don't have the
driver module
installed for the newer kernel version.

Its an Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG. From my dmesg in
the 2.6.18-4 kernel:

---
ipw3945: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945 Network Connection
driver for Linux, 1.1.2dmpr
ipw3945: Copyright(c) 2003-2006 Intel Corporation
---

But i didnt get any message about this driver being
out of date.

Thank you again!

Jen
