TOTAL NEWBIE - Wireless drivers
Hi there.
I'm a total newbie to Linux, trying to convert from MS.
I'm trying to put a wireless D-Link DWL-520 PCI wireless card into my box with Redhat 9.0
I'm confused about:
1) Do I need to download a driver for this (i.e. from linux-wlan. com), or can I just set it up through the RedHat GUI and use the "Lucent Orinoco and Prism II based wireless" driver that comes with RedHat.
2) I tried just using the Orinoco driver but when I try to "activate" it through the GUI, I get "the device does not seem to be present...delaying initialization"
Just wondering if I'm missing something really obvious here. The link lights on the card are shining bright.
I'm not too useful with the command line yet, but I'm ready and willing to learn...help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Michael
