Hello guys,

Well I have decided to concentrate my efforts on my internal mini-pci 
card, the Intel PRO2100 WiFi, instead of an external Atheros based 
Netgear card.  Part of the decision was based on the fact that my Dell 
technician said that this card was superior in range to many cardbus 
based devices.  I didn't know that the card even existed in my system 
until the tech came to my house.  I thought I had declined it as an 
option when I bought the laptop.  Haha.  It works well in Windows-  once 
I typed in the giant HEX key for WEP.

So I am wading through the Gentoo procedures required to get it working. 
  Fortunately there are ebuilds all set up for me.  I will unmerge all 
the Madwifi stuff.  I will wait for Madwifi to mature before I try it 
again.  Retrieving distributions from CVS doesn't sound optimal for me. 
  I'm not that much of a computer genious, LOL.

One thing I want to do is to eliminate all of the configuration files 
that went along with the Madwifi driver and any associated tools.  I 
think I saw in the emerge manual some ways to find out what those files 
were, or perhaps it was the Gentoo tools.

Sincerely,  Rob
