Ok, first of all im using a Lucent Wireless Networking Orinoco PCMCIA Card. Now I would think that there are just a bunch of problems rite there just waiting for me but everything seemed to begoing ok. The card is detected and drivers are loaded. Now heres where I run into problems....
1. The drivers are not for the Orinoco Card....they are for a version earlier called WaveLAN. These are almost identical so I thought they would work. (Im asking you guys) 2. I can't get it recognised as eth0...and get on my network with it. I tried "alias eth0 wvlan_cs" which returns: bash: alias: 'eth0' not found bash: alias: 'wv_lan_cs' not found Well hopefully this makes sence to everyone. Thanks in advance for any help. |
Whats /var/log/messages say?
Whats it say when you try to load the module(insmod wvlan_cs.o from its dir), is it already loaded? If you recompiled your kernel you may not have all the pieces in place.. |
Have you recompiled your kernel to include wireless LAN support? I am not sure, but I don't think it is included by default. I have a wireless LAN at home, with a card based on the Lucent wv_lan (its made by Buffalotech).
I am running Redhat v7.0 with a recompiled 2.2.16 kernel. What version of Linux and kernel are you running? |
Works
I got it it to work. Well not exactly "me" but the 8.0 release of Mandrake recognised it automatically...how nice :) Thanks for your help!
