Hi,
I bought a Netgear MA521 wireless card recently. It works good in XP, but it can not be found in my linux box! I wonder if someone can help me, at least give me some idea on how to find this card in linux.
My configuration:
compaq 2190
celeron 2.4G
RHL9 with kernel 2.4.20-8
Thanks
ping

Just posted about this in the HUGE thread about the WCP11V4.... I got this card working just earlier tonight (just got it today) in Slackware 9.1 using kernel 2.4.21... I reccomend reading that threat, it tells you everyhting you need to know...just make sure you have a few hours as it's rather large

Thread is here...

What kind of cranium scratchin monkey wants to spend 3 hours setting up a wireless network card? Not this one!
I cannot offer technical assitance, but I strongly feel that the manufacturers of wirelesss networking gear need to offer drivers that are compatible with Linux distributions.
I've spent over 30 hours searching for a site that lists PCMCIA cards that work flawlessly with wireless networking for Linux. Any distribution. I'm sure that wireless networking isn't new. I challenge someone with skills far greater than my own to create drivers/ hardware/ etc, that work as flawlessly as they do on Windows. This is the last hurdle for me to switch to windows full time. Can someone focus on just this problem (it is a problem) and fix it once and for all. I don't think I'm alone when I say that 10 or more lengthy steps are not acceptable to setup wireless networking. Please reply. What are the most significant challenges to this issue?
