Hi, under SciLinux 3 (various sub-versions) my wireless
- PCI external adapter card -

HardwareList.Wireless.eth1.Status=ok
HardwareList.Wireless.eth1.Name=eth1
HardwareList.Wireless.eth1.Type=Wireless
HardwareList.Wireless.eth1.Card.ModuleName=orinoco_cs
HardwareList.Wireless.eth1.Description=
             Intersil PRISM2 11 Mbps Wireless Adapter

worked flawlessly. Now under SL4.4 it fails 9/10 tries, 
and keeps producing this message,

. Warning : Device eth1 has been compiled with version 18
. of Wireless Extension, while we are using version 16.
. Some things may be broken...

Any clues as to a possible cure ? Or, alternatively, some
recommendation of an external adapter that is success-off-
the-box for SL4 ?

Meanwhile, I try to study "Wireless Tools for Linux" in
http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html

Cheers,
Arthur
