Sitecom WL-011v2 WLAN Card won't work


Hello,

I just installed Mandrake 10.0 Community Edition on my Gericom Laptop. I chose Kernel 2.4x. I have a problem with getting my PCMCIA WLAN card working. It is a Sitecom WL-011 Vers. 2 (!) which doesn't use the Atmel chipset and therefore won't work with the drivers from Sourceforge. After a little bit of googling I found these drivers: www DOT emota DOT com DOT br/wireless/am1772.html
I tried to follow the instructions in the Readme file, after the make command occured an error, something like: "error unknown processor family"
My Laptop is a 1,7 GHz P4. The website from above is in spanish language, which I can't understand. But I guess there is something said of a bug with some processors. Now my question. Has anyone got this card (vers. 2) to work ? Every help is appreciated.

thx

Soeren

Hi JustMe77,
Did you manage to have your wireless card work in Linux environment? I also have one, and searched many time to found the way to get it work, but found nothing
If you know the way to make it work, please tell me. Thanks.
