I have a toshiba satellite a65 (S1062) and have a few problems. I am running red hat enterprise 4 and can't see my pci wireless card. The card is a Dlink dwl-g630. The card and slot both work with windows xp(using it now). I have tried using ndiswrapper and show the driver present but never see the hardware.

also, as a side note my fan doesnt seem to be working while running Linux. Any help will be appreciated.

I think you've gotten your title and your primary issue confused. The folks looking at this posting may not be the ones that can help you with your wireless problem.

You should separate issues into separate postings, so folks with specific knowledge can find and address them.

i have split the post as you recommended and moved the pci issue to networking. Cant quite figure out how to delete this thread though. Thanks
