First let me thank you for the prompt help provided.
I am impressed.
I will try the orinoco modules.
RedHat8 seeme to point to wvlan_cs as wireless drivers, which are used by the system as the prism2 cards.
I don't have the file "wvlan-ng.conf" in the /etc/pcmcia directory.
I have "wireless, wireless.opts, wlan-ng.opts.rpmsave" that I think are relevant files.
There is always a message in the background as well that say:
"wvlan_cs:Unrecognised card, card return vendor = 0x0003, please report...
wvlan_cs: this firmware doesn't support "port_type=3", please use iwconfig.
wvlan_cs: Initialization failed!
wvlan_cs: eth0 Tx timed out! resetting card".
And it goes over and over.
I am new to this and I don't understand why the same card should have no problem with AP and generate so many with another type of link
Thank you again. I will let you know if it works.
