How do I install WaveBuddy wlan 802.11g notebook card.


I don't have any idea how to install pcmcia cards or any other devices for that matter. I have the drivers on the cd that came with my card. I am running RH9. Please help.

First you have to compile your kernel to support pcmcia card. After you have to investigate which is the chip model of your card in order to check if there is any driver available under linux. You also have to compile your kernel with the wireless device option.

Good luck
