I am trying to connect a machine with an Abit KT7 motherboard to a network wirelessly. I have installed an ISAPC-00 ISA to PCMCIA adapter on the motherboard with an Alvarion Breezenet PC-DS.11b PCMCIA card in it. The machine is running under Fedora Core 10. I don't know what hardware device to specify or even if my attempt is possible. Thanks for any feedback.

In the top right there should be an icon representing your network. If you left-click it, there should be a drop-down menu with your network devices listed. Click the wireless device and the associative network you want it to join and you should be good.

My toolbar is at the bottom. When I right click the icon it pulls up the Network Connections menu. When I click on the wireless devices tab, no devices are shown. I have looked in /var/local/dmseg and I don't see evidence of any wireless device detected on boot.

Ok, well can you post the output of lspci and lspcmcia to see if the device is detected and then check the output of lsmod to see if the proper driver is being used?

The ISA to PCMCIA adapter card is in the slot farthest from the power supply. Would lspci list devices in an ISA slot?

lspcmcia shows nothing
[mike@localhost ~]$ lspcmcia


I don't know what is shown by lsmod. Is that it at ip6t_REJECT?
