.:.:. * A Few Simple Questions * .:.:.
Hi all, I seem to be having some trouble with particularly these two problems...
1.) Trying to install my TRENDnet TEW-221PC (TRENDnet and ADMtek seem to have drivers for only RH 7 and 8 , I don't even think my PCMCIA package is working or how to start/restart it) 2.) How to boot to commandline - FOUND OUT HOW, THANKS! This is all on a Dell Inspiron 2650 Laptop with RedHat 9/GNOME |
Hi,
About your second question: In the file /etc/inittab change the line id:5:initdefault: to id:3:initdefault: This is called changing the runlevel. You can do it after booting as well with the telinit command.

nobody's worked with a TEW-221PC?

http://www.trendnet.com/asp/download...=184&B1=Search
http://www.driverforum.com/network4/1789.html I found both of those by searching www.google.com with the search "TRENDnet TEW-221PC linux" Hope they help. (the Trendnet link has the manufacturers driver, the driverforum has instructions - I'd read over the driverforum to see if it helps). |
Is CARDBUS a package? If it is I can't find it anywhere, or is CARDBUS referring to the PCMCIA slot?
Also, last time I tried the "make" command on the untard dir, I ended up with a giant list of "Warning: error"s instead of some files |
Also, no matter how hard I try I cannot find drivers for RH9, or any other distribution for that matter, only RedHat 7.x and 8.0
|
RH 8 drivers should work with 9 (9 is just 8 with bugfixes [duck]).
What were the warning errors? It may be that you are missing some programs needed by the installer. |
do you have AIM? It would be alot easier if I could do a p2p conversation
|
But then you would rob the rest of the board members of the solution and the steps to that solution. :D
Talk me through what you have done so far and what errors have come up. |
alright I un-gzip'd the tar, and un-tar'd for a new directory...now I'm stuck on what to do from there
|
It is worth while reading the readme in the new directory just to make sure it doesn't need you to install in a different way from the instructions below.
In fact, if it's not too long, could you copy, paste and post the relevant bits from the readme. cd into the directory (in a terminal type 'cd /path/to/the/directory' minus the ' ' marks) then type in './configure' when it has finished, type in 'make' when that has finished type in 'su' type in the password for root type in 'make install' |

I. Installation Guide Code:
Makefile: line 1: CC: command not found |

Since you have the source code, you will need to the 'manual' install. First, did you install the kernel-source when you installed RH? If not, you can add them through the install manager (it's been a while since I used RH9), I think it's the RPM manager you need. There is an option in there to install the kernel source, when it prompts you put in the relevant cd. That is, of course, if you didn't already install it. Then Quote:

Note: I'm not sure where you are, but it's now 2254hrs and I have work in the morning (up at 0630hrs boo hoo) but I will be back on tomorrow night. Let me know how you get on. |
I have the same issues....
I can get the driver loaded (using the 3com provided one) for my 3Com RS...somin PC-Card. The light for the card comes on - but no link light. I can't see the ESSID set in iwconfig unless the card is in ad-hoc mode. I have an IP set, Key set and essid set (in ad-hoc) and can't see my AP. I put my AP essid broadcast on, removed mac address filtering and wep and the card still can't connect and get a "link" light up. What do I need to do? I am using Fedora Core 1 with the latest kernel and the drivers compiled from source from the 3Com web page. Cheers. |
