orinoco driver
 

Hi,
Fedora Core 2 detects my Dlink card (does not work with FC2 ) as an ethernet card and not a wireless device.
Secondly, it says "no such device" whenever I try to do
<command> <wireless device name>
Thirdly, the following is the message from dmesg:

orinoco.c 0.13e (David Gibson <hermes@gibson.dropbear.id.au> and others)

is it a pci or pcmcia, if it is in a desktop, you may still have to enable pcmcia drivers in order for the card to work, goofy, but that is how some manufacturers work, they make a pci to pcmcia interface, then stick the wireless card on, solder it in, and create problems.

hope this helps

it is pci

dlink dwl-520 11mbps

linux recognoses it as
Prism 2.5 Wavelan Rev. E

But reloading drivers compains of hw unavailable???

How would deal with the pcmcia problem???

What about wavelan drivers? they dont compile with 2.6 kernals.
Make config freakin fails companing you dont have the full kernal source, just headers. This is even after getting the source from the redhat cd and the form kernel.org


Advise??
