    Hi,
    I have a linksys WPC11 version 3 wireless card which worked fine and dandy in
    8.2. Now in 9.0, which runs ifup-dhcp for me whenever I start the network,
    the error message I get is signal 0/92 . The machine is able to connect to
    the internet through the eth0 card, but when I use the pcmcia card, despite
    the fact that I can hear it thp-thp-thhp-ing away, and iwconfig says:

    wlan0 IEEE 802.11-b ESSID:"linux" Nickname:"linux"
              Mode:Ad-Hoc Frequency:2.442GHz Cell: 02:06:80:E2:DE:5F
              Bit Rate:2Mb/s Tx-Power:2346 dBm
              Retry min limit:8 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
              Encryption key:off
              Link Quality:0/92 Signal level:-69 dBm Noise level:-90 dBm
              Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
              Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0

    I set the ESSID at nothing (the way it used to be, just get what's out there)
    and tried setting it at a known ESSID, iwconfig seemed to be the same. I've
    also tried to set the connection type (ad hoc, etc) at automatic, still no
    beans.

    The part about link quality being 0/92 is patent nonsense, at least, I can
    confirm the wireless network is (a) working (b) has a massively powerful
    signal and (c) I hate to say it but the (ahem) windows XP laptop sitting next
    to my Suse laptop is using the same card (not the same model but the same
    CARD) perfectly fine.

    Can anyone offer any suggestions? I'd sure like to get this working.

    Thanks in advance,
    nick
