I’m running 2.4.18-3 on a laptop (laptop installation) and have problems with my wireless card not being recognised by the OS. This is a standard kernel as per default installation. I’ve tried installing the following drivers for the card:-

pcmcia-cs-3.2.4
AIROLINUXv15000
Linux-ACU-Driver-v2.0
Firmware = V5.20.17

All the installations seem to work correctly but when I re-boot with the card in, it won’t pick the card up and give the following messages:-

aironet4500_cs not present
airo: MAC could not be enabled
airo: Max tries exceeded

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks,

Ian

Anyone any suggestions?

After digging around, I've figured out that the problem was with the Firmware flashed on the card was in comflict with Redhat.

I've now downgraded the Firmware and the card is now working.
