After 'click on the Options tab' should be: Make sure Start At Boot is ticked. Click on OK then close PCC. So the text should read: Make sure your wireless device is displayed at the top next to Device: and click on the Options tab. Make sure Start At Boot is ticked. Click on OK then close PCC. Your wireless card should activate at boot and login to your network, at least mine does. Sorry about that Dave Le H <em>Thanks Dave, Another solution.

I presume here that you are using KDE. Go to Kmenu>Sytem>Configuration>Configure Your Computer. This will start PCC. When PCC has started, click on Network & Internet in the left hand pane. Now click on Reconfigure a Network Interface in the main pane. Make sure your wireless device is displayed at the top next to Device: and click on the Options tab. Your wireless card should activate at boot and login to your network, at least mine does. Hope that helps Dave Le Huray Guernsey To get your wireless card to start at boot time you need to set an option via the control panel. I presume here that you are using KDE.
