Hi Guys. I am using RHEL 5.1 Client Edition. Everything seems to be working fine. I am just having problems in installing and configuring Wireless on it. I am using Buffalo WLI-U2-KG54l USB wireless Adapter. I want to configure it in RHEL but i couldn't till now. I have installed NDISWRAPPER but i couldn't figure out how to use install the drivers. Can anybody me in configuring it? Thanks in advance for any help.

The Qbik database (http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/searc...bmit=Search%21) does show Buffalo devices but no WLI-U2-KG54l. The http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Devices/USB does, pointing to the http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/zd1211rw driver. Searching the 'net the WLI-U2-KG54L should work with Ndiswrapper and the http://www.buffalo-technology.com/su...01-02-0002.zip driver. Extract, cd into the Win2000 subdir and type 'ndiswrapper -i NETU2G54.INF', then check with 'ndiswrapper -l'. I don't use Wireless now, nor this card, so please read generic Kernel Wireless and Ndiswrapper documentation.
