i am using the fedora distro, with kernel 2.6.2. when i type the command iwconfig i get the following:

[root@localhost]# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

Warning: Driver for device wlan0 has been compiled with version 16
of Wireless Extension, while this program is using version 15.
Some things may be broken...

all the information seems correct, but when i go to load up a webpage it doesn't come up. is there any other information that i have to give the OS so that it can recognize the pci card. i'm using a wireless g pci-adapter (wmp54g)

i typed ifconfig wlan0 up

to see if that helps, but nothing. i read somewhere about editing the file in the directory
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts, but i don't have a file for wlan0.

thanks in advance for any help

That's like the error I'm getting.

Mandrake 9.2, upgraded to kernel 2.6.2-1

Using Linuxant DriverLoader (I know it sucks, but it's the only driver that supports my Netgear card)

This card worked under kernel 2.4.22-10.

Upgraded the kernel, installed the generic driver (since there wasn't one built for my distro and kernel).

Getting this message when I do iwconfig:

lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

sit0 no wireless extensions.

iwlist scan sees my AP, and I've got a link light on my wireless nic. But I cannot get eth1 to show up in the Mandrake Control Center network config so I can config it for internet.

Almost makes me wish I spent the money to get the Cisco card.

thanks for everyone who has posted in this forum. it finally helped me to get my wmp54g wireless pci adapter to work from linksys. in case anyone wants to know, after i upgraded to kernel 2.6.2, i installed the mod-init-utils-3.0, and pciutils-2.1.11 and then i ran the install file that came with ndiswrapper. once it did its thing and no errors showed, i added the file ifcfg-wlan0 to the directory /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts, and just filled out the information that is supposed to be in that file. (i looked at a similar file in the same directory to see what i had to put in) also i made sure that everything that is needed to be done when migrating to the 2.6 kernel was done. i can't remember the link, but in google just search for "migrating kernel 2.6" or something like that. also made the module load automatically at startup by adding a script that runs at startup. just search in this site "load module permanent" and the details should be there. someone posted that and it really helped. thanks again everyone.

Hey!
Where do you find this file?
Thanks

the file ifcfg-wlan0, i created. just made it using one of the editors like "vi". just look at the other config files in the directory so you know what to put in the file. hope that helps.

Can you post your config file because I don't have any other config files in my /etc/network folder?

this is my config file:

[root@localhost network-scripts]# cat ifcfg-wlan0
DEVICE=wlan0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
HWADDR=00:06:25:48:C4:F2
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet


for the type i wasn't sure what to put, but i just put ethernet and it works fine. the hwaddr i got by running ipconfig /all on the windows xp operating system through the command line. good luck.
