PCMICA Wireless card


I have mandrake 9.2 and a Bt voyager 1020 wireless PCMICA card!

Does anyone know where I can get drivers for it and how to install it and connect it to my hub(bt Home network 1200)

I am so new to linux and confused

find out what chipset your card uses. google for it, and its drivers.

I've never heard of a BT voyager... British Telephone? I never figured they would bother to rebrand a card. In the realm of finding out the chipset:

/sbin/cardctl ident

And post that information here. And since it may very well be a cardbus card:

/sbin/lspci

And post back that info too.

Cheers,

Neither of those folders exsisted? This is with a clean install with the card in the slot.

Although I looked in harddrake and found this:

ENE Technology Inc Cardbus

You need to type those in from the command line, open a shell or a Konsole, make certain to get the space in there for the first one: "/sbin/cardctl ident", the state of wireless is so mucky these days that trying to tackle things from the GUI is going to be close to impossible. This one is going to be all command line.

Cheers,
