Re: [PLUG] LAN on RedHat?
|
Brian,
Please tell us what part of the wifi network you are having difficulty with. Is it setting up the access point or is it configuring the client computer (desktop or laptop). Certainly RedHat will automatically install and assist in configuring a LAN during installation. It should recognize most any NIC during installation. Then you have the Network Configuration tool under System Settings for further configuration, if ncessary.
What access point are you using? Is it integrated with your DSL modem/router/hub?
Your client will have to be configured to use the wifi adapter you have, be it a PCI card in a desktop or a pcmcia cardn a laptop. I haven't setup a desktop so I can't really give any advice there. But I have setup a laptop (Toshiba Tecra 8000) with an Orinoco Silver wifi pcmcia card. I used the "pcmcia-cs" package to provide the pc-card services. This worked well but it took me a bit of time to figure it out. That was under RH7.3. I'm going to try it under RH8.0 soon enough so I'll let you know how I fare.
