That's normal for modprobe. Type lsmod, and you should see the module loaded.</blockquote><p><DEFANGED_div>And so it is.

I took the grcc unix classes about 5+ years ago, and that was about it for what I know, other than what's in the gui. Synaptic says I have the wireless tools installed, but the network interface doesn't show the wlan0.
