Unhappy wireless


greething

"Intel Pro/wireless lan 2100 3b mini PCI adapter" and I also have separate wireless lan card "RoamAbout 802.11 DS High Rate", but linux doesnt detect both of them. What can I do so it dectects one of the wireless cards.

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
If it doesnt detect it, its not going to, and they are windows driver based cards. You may be able to find drivers for linux using google and looking for other people using the same laptop.

wireless

Thanks for the help I am going to try this, but I think that the pcmcia is not working and thats why it doesnt find the RoamAbout card because on other computers its working.
Do you know how can I start it or where can I download drivers if necessary.

Some of the early Enterasys cards were rebadged ORiNOCO cards, which will work fine if you have PCMCIA card services loaded. When you insert the card, do you get any beeps or lights?
What does cardctl ident show?
Here's a pretty lengthy list of chipsets and, in some cases, drivers: http://www.linux-wlan.org/docs/wlan_adapters.html.gz

use the ndiswrapper program or linuxant's driverloader, these programs wrap the windows drivers in a linux kernelmodule (or something) ndiswrapper is free and works great for me, I've got the intel 2100b card
