Ok I just set up a wireless network in my house. My computer is the only one that uses Red Hat, and I'm still pretty new with it. It's 7.2 I belive. My computer is a duel boot, so I can get on the network with Win2000, but I don't know what drivers to install to access the network with Linux. Let alone how to install them. Help!

Specs are:

Host Interface: 32-bit PCI, compliant with PCI specification 2.1

Power Consumption: 3.3V, 350mA (max.)

Physical Dimensions: 7" x 4.72" x 0.78" (178mm x 120mm x 20mm) 2.8 oz. (79g)

Certification: FCC Class B, CE Mark, C-Tick.

802.11b
11Mbps


Hope one of you guys has some good news for me about a general driver or something.

Hi,
After you put your pcmcia adapter , look under /proc/pci to see whether it detects the adapter or not.
First check that !! and then talk to us.

Ok, I think this is the device in /proc/pci

Bus 2, device 13, function 0:
Network controller: PCI device 1260:3873 (Harris Semiconductor) (rev 1).
IRQ 11.
Master Capable. Latency=32.
Prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xf47ff000 [0xf47fffff].

It's the last device in the list. I'm a novice so the obvious solution to everyone is completely alien to me. Thanks to anyone who can help

Unfortunately the specs you gave on the card are the specs of any type 2 pcmcia card out there and the info from /proc/pci is also usually no help as it just dumps chipset information, and unfortunately in this case it gave us Harris, now Intersil, which means its one of a few dozen chipsets.

What's the make and model of the card? Does Windows give any info on the model, or last but not nastiest:

/sbin/cardctl ident
