I was trying to get
via wifi usb module to work. I got the module installed with the help from
General Failure throw this
post.
Now I see the driver installed and it actually sees the usb module
Here is lsusb output:

I tried to go throw the steps from
here, but I am lost somewhere.
When booting I get those messages:
Quote:
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot allocate memory
/etc/rc.d/rc.M: eth0 information: 'Any ESSID'
Error for wireless request "Set Nickname" (8B1C) :

Here is the output of ifconfig -a before installing the module:

And here it is after installing the module:

No matter what alias I set in modprobe.conf ifconfig doesn't see it.
Also here is the output of iwconfig after installing the module:
and after installing the module:
I have to note that my ethernet card is not working here and I don't know why, but I still haven't searched on that, but just wanted to point that cause it's using eth0 instead wlan0.
Thanks all in advance.
