having problems with Lynksis PCI Wireless Adaptor :(
First of all thanks for this forum, i use to read from the outside looking for help, and here i am..looking for your help :newbie:
secondly i have Slackware 13 32Bit, intalled in a Dell (i don't know the model) pIV with 1Gb Ram this is a very loooooong story, i'll try to be as brief as possible.. the problem is i can't connect to WiFi using a Lynksis Wireless-G PCI Adaptor, i followed two tutorials i found here, that's why i got the registrated... Now i can't find them so i can't show which are, so the point is that after i use ndisrrapper and i install the rf64.inf (i think is the correct name) i followed all the steps but it gets stuck at the DHCP one i used the dhclient command and it didn't work either when i boot slackware it says something like that i have to initialize a rc.d script manually and before, it says eth0 interface gets timedout, the wird part is that now my network monitor shows two more network and the wpa replicant can't even scan them.. i must add, i still have windows just because is the one that's letting me get connected.. so i feel veeery frustrated using this "thing" sorry it was too larhe greetz |
Hello,
Can you post the output of the following commands for me? Code:
lsmod Cheers, Josh PS - Please use a spell check next time, and it is "Linksys," not "Lynksis." |
As it is said, "It's better late than never", the info i receive from the commands i hope it is not too long..

sorry for re-posting but it seems that nobody can help me! :(

Sorry for the late reply, I'm currently deployed and don't have much time to get online sometimes.......
But as far as your problem, try the following: Code:
modprobe rt61 I know the ones listed are not for slackware 13, but they might suffice for now, unless Eric has new packages available that I didn't see. Cheers, Josh |
well, thanks for your answer but it just too late, i already reolved it i installed Wicd and it's working all good now
