How to setup wireless LAN on RedHat laptop


I have a Dell laptop and I'm trying to use a Linksys WPC54G wireless PCMCIA card with RedHat and was wondering how I could get RedHat to recognize it. Thanks in advance.

An option would be to get ndiswrapper. For Redhat, you might have to get one of the older versions, but it should work. Just make sure you have your Windows drivers, specifically the .sys and .inf files.

Link to older versions of ndiswrapper: http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...ckage_id=99148

Good luck
