EW-7128G PCI Wireless Card undetected in Slackware 12.2
Hello.
I am using an Edimax EW-7128G PCI Wireless Card in a Dell Dimension 4700 that is currently undetected running under Slackware 12.2. I am able to use the same NIC with fedora 10 however.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Here is the output of lspci -v:

What makes you say the card is not detected, as according to lspci the driver e100 is in use ?
Unless I'm missing something, e100 is in use by my ethernet connection, and not by the wireless card I said I was trying to use.
I don't see any wireless card being detected in the lspci output.
ifconfig only lists eth0 and lo, and no wlan0.

But from your former thread I thought that issue was solved ???
That was a different issue, and I did resolve it -- thanks for your help there. I started a new thread for this new issue.
Almost there, still no connectivity.
I ended up going to the following link, downloading compat-wireless-2.6 and installing it: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download
The wireless card was then detected upon reboot.
I'm looking here : http://www.slackbook.org/html/networ...-wireless.html
to configure the wireless. I edited rc.wireless.conf and put my 'essid' and 'key' into the generic section, rebooted, and could not ping out. I then tried iwconfig,
This didn't work, but definitely did something adverse. It froze the terminal with which I was ssh'd into the slackware machine, so I needed to hard reboot. When I try to ssh into it now, it takes about 25 seconds before it prompts me for my password. I deleted
/dhcpcd-wlan0.info and /dhcpcd-wlan0.cache in /etc/dhcpcd/, but this didn't resolve the problem. Anyone know how to fix this?
