Kai, 

you didn't answer me on where I get a Debian kernel with
NETCONFIG-RADIO enabled?

I'd sure prefer not to have to rebuild the kernel (even if it is
three times faster than my desktop PC), I have the 2.4.18(ish)
source package installed, a recent 2.4 would be nice.

I don't understand why they bundle modules like wvlan_cs and
wavelan etc if the kernel can't use them - or did I miss
something?

Or is try Knoppix all I'm getting as an answer on that one?

       Simon (still waiting for test Oracle import to finish from 9:30
this morning, looks to be a third of the way through ;-( )
