Re: [PLUG] 802.11 with DevFS on 2.4.12
|
Hi
dont know if this applies to you since I'm using RH6.2 (older
kernel) and RayLink card (802.11 but not 802.11b)...
no idea how yur card works, but I'm just posting some random
config stuff on mine hope it yields some clues.
first thing is wether pcmcia is recognized..(mine is
ISA to PCMCIA adaptor); (yours is probably PCI and
I've havent tried that).
/etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia also starts on mine on
boot up (linked to /etc/rc.d/rc3.d).
mine is configured as eth2.
theres a lot of parameters that has to be filled out
in /etc/pcmcia/ or /etc/conf.modules (stuff such as
adhoc or infrastructure, etc). if kernel sees the
pcmcia card it might just be a matter of associating
a kernel module to the ethx device.
