D-Link DWL-650 wireless on Redhat 9


This card used to work just fine w/ 128bit encryption until I wiped the laptop and reinstalled Redhat 9 last night. Now I'm using the same drivers (wlan-ng) and can't for the life of me get it working.
Anybody have encryption working w/ the new wlan-ng drivers or perhaps an alternate way to get this card working w/ encryption?

I've helped quite a few people using this driver and now I can't get the updated version working. Oh, the irony!

Well, it seems that the new wlan-ng drivers are to blame since I can't get it going w/ or w/out wireless. It's a DWL-650 running on Redhat 9. Any ideas?

Guess it's time to start specifying what's not working...

I had this same card for a time (the one with the "axe-head" looking antenna housing?) and it worked "out of the box" on a stock mandrake 9.0 installation, you've checked your logs for any clues? does cardctl ident report the correct manfids and do you find these ids in your /etc/pcmcia/config file bound to the correct driver? Does your /var/log/messages give any clues? Are /etc/pcmcia/network.opts and /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts setup correctly? What about your ifcfg-<devicename> file? If it worked before, surely it can work again...
