Wolfgang,

Excellent response once again thanks.

I am running ELDK 2.0.2 which does have RPMs for pcmcia-cs and
wireless-tools.  I also see my target installation has the "iwconfig"
program installed in /sbin.  The target also has /etc/pcmcia/* and
/etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia.

>From your email I gather all I need to do is recompile my kernel to
include support for the wireless LAN (CONFIG_NET_RADIO) .  Is that
correct ?

Cheers,
Curt
