MA311 help

puzz_1 · 05-28-2003, 11:46 AM

I installed the Netgear MA311 PCI card on my RedHat 7.3 box. On doing a lspci I get this

Network Controller: Harris Semiconductor : Unknown device

Is this card non compatible or i just need a driver??

check the redhat site for compatibilty, im sure they list somewhere many of the network cards that Linux is compatiable with.

ok I read that i need the orinoco driver. But when I do /sbin/modprobe orinoco_pci (as suggested in the previous posts) I get the error "modprobe can't locate module orinoco_pci"

suggestions?

ok this is ^bump and a small update.
I installed the orinoco package and was able to insert the module.
Then I did
ifconfig eth0 up
iwconfig eth0 essid ssidname
dhcpcd eth0

I still am not connected. And lspci still gives
Harris Corporation: Unknown device
