Hi,
I just did a new install of breezy on a Thinkpad A30. It has a wireless card
(prism 2.x). But when I do ifconfig -a all I have are 'eth' entries. Same
goes when I do iwconfig
Furthermore I only have 2 NICs in this machine, a 10/100 wired and a wireless
where is "eth2" coming from?
Why don't I have a wlan0 entry?
Do I need to do something different during installation?
Thanks
Jay
