Mandrake 10.1 PCI Wireless Driver Problems

schwascore · 03-03-2005, 11:41 PM

I am trying to get my PCI wireless card to work on my desktop machine - Mandrake detects it just fine but none of the pre-loaded drivers works with the card and I can not find a driver online. run as root, lspci -v reads the card as:

Code:

02:04.0 Network controller: Linksys ADMtek ADM8211 802.11b Wireless Interface (rev 11)
        Subsystem: Accton Technology Corporation: Unknown device 3201
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 16
        I/O ports at c800 [size=256]
        Memory at feaefc00 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1K]
        Expansion ROM at feac0000 [disabled] [size=128K]
        Capabilities: [c0] Power Management version 2

Under Mandrake Control Center, the card is detected as:

Code:

Identification
Vendor: ‎Admtek Inc
Description: ‎ADM8201 Wireless Adapter
Media class: ‎NETWORK_OTHER
Connection
Bus: ‎PCI
Bus PCI #: ‎2
PCI device #: ‎4
PCI function #: ‎0
Vendor ID: ‎4887
Device ID: ‎33281
Sub vendor ID: ‎4371
Sub device ID: ‎12801
Misc
Module: ‎unknown

Now I could swear that my card is a Belkin and not a Linksys as lspci -v reports, but I'm not in the mood to argue with it. If that's what it says it needs, fine by me as long as it works.

I tried searching for information regarding this issue in all the usual places but I keep running into PCMCIA solutions for laptop wireless cards, which doesn't really seem to help me much. I need a driver for this card! any help would be greatly appreciated!

thank you!

Shouldn't matter.

You can get the driver files here

Thanks, problem solved... had to use the last version for the 2.4 kernel though, even with my 2.6 kernel
