i am very new to slackware, and have almost no experiance with any other distros.
That being said, i dont even know how to install drivers in this operating system...
Im trying to setup a sort of internet server in my room, and have it acessable from the internet, as well as make it a network bridge.
The problem is i dont have wired internet in my room, i cannot get a wire here. However, i have a constant 60% or better wireless signal from my router.
i happen to have an ASUS WL-138g wireless card, and ive installed it in the slackware system, almong with a regular pci NIC.
The problem is that the computer does not recognise the wireless nic. if i put in dmesg, the only thing i think is related to it says
PCI: no IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 01:0d.0. Please try using pci=biosirq
I dont have a clue what to do about that, or where to try using that line
Anyways, after much searching i found that a mod here said that the output of sbin/lspci would make it possible to know if the card is even compatable...
01:0e.0 Ethernet controller: Galileo Technology Ltd.: Unknown device 1fa6 (rev 07)
is the only line that i would assume goes to the card.
Is it compatable? How can you tell?
If it is, where would i go for a driver, and how would i go about installing it?
google/linux wasnt of any help to me, except to time and time again send me here for something else. I also heard this is a great place from alexr186, so i figured id stop on in and see what can be done.
I hope this place is as freindly as the other forum i go to, OCforums.
Thanks in advance guys! (and gals?)
