LinuxQuestions.org - Cisco PCI 340 - anyone got in working on 8.2?

Hi

I have a new 8.2 installation. System is working fine except for my Cisco
PC4800 - PCI, wireless card:

$ hwinfo

23: PCI 09.0: 0280 Network controller
[Created at pci.65]
Unique ID: WL76.QBjvJtidapA

When detected by yast2 it suggests to uses the module "aironet4500". I get

$ ifconfig -a

Trying

$ modprobe aironet4500
modprobe: Can't locate module aironet4500

So I've tried using the module "aironet4500_card" in yast2 and get this:

Which I assume is better?

# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
sit0 no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.

The card work fine under WinME on the same box. I also have no problems
getting Realtek RTL-8029(AS) network card working.

I've looked around on the internet and this cisco card should be straight
forward to get going. Any ideas on what I can try next?

thanks
