    I KNEW THAT! So why didn't I do it earlier? Cause I thought I had. I had to
    do it on my other laptop a couple of weeks ago. Even going through that
    exercise wasnt enough.

    For some reason I couldn't get ifconfig down to disable the NIC and enable the
    pcmcia card to take the essid until I booted into xp and set the card up
    there. When I went back to suse it all fell into place. It's all black
    magic!

    I got off onto the symbols thing when I went searching through the net for
    some answers. Thanks for putting me straight.

    Regards,
    Richard
