I have to know the vendor an product id

idVendor
idProduct

You can find that info by

lsusb | more
or
lsusb | less

You wil finds something like

idVendor 0x046d Logitech Inc.
idProduct 0xc00c Optical Wheel Mouse

but then for you linksys

If you have a dual boot system with windows check the mac address if it contains
AT76C503A
then
You have a atmel chip set

This is a link to the main page of the atmel support group

Here you find a howto install the drivers for a usb type wifi adapters on redhat 8

I tried lusb | more and i came up with
Bus 001 Device 002: 1915:2233
Bus 001 Device 001: 0000:0000

and i do not have a dual boot i have one computer for linux and another for windows

Use that windows system, install the windows drivers on that one and have a look at the mac address

Nick838 · 08-26-2004, 07:00 PM

ok i think the mac address is 00-0F-66-13-EF-15 ( that was the physical address when config/all is typed into the command prompt)

I have had a look at the linksys site and they have not change the drivers since v2.6 so I advise You to use the atmel driver

thanks
