That's how I felt - particularly as I didn't know what most of it 
meant anyway - so I couldn't trim in case I trimmed the crucial bit.

Thanks - that's what I needed.  Full instructions.  I didn't like to 
say so without even having tried. :-(  I tend to get lost in the 
logs.

But I get stuck again.  Given that I have so far not succeeded in 
bringing the interface up, I can't get any further.  The terminal 
just says:
Ignoring unknown interface eth1=eth1

I shall now do some googling in order to find out how to use iwconfig 
for anything other than getting information about the wireless 
card(s).

Thanks for the help.
