pcmcia connection problem
I have been wardriving for awhile and have found that alot of cards just won't connect. This is because companies won't give out info on drivers to the opensource community.. I use 2wire orinoco gold and buffalo..You can try the ndiswrapp , which is a wraparound ,but they are not that reliable for me..So I did research on the chipsets in the cards and found the ones that worked with Linux and got on ebay and looked them up. For 50.00 bucks I bought a orinoco card made by 2wire and it came with a anntena. It fired right up.. There is something else , go into your menu and clickon networking ,Find out if your card is eth1 , 2 and enter that into the " default gateway device " How is your router set up ???? If your router has the lock on { or WEP is on } the router won't recognise your card ,it's the same if the mac filtering is on and your MACaddress that is on the back of your card is not entered in to allow the signal through..It's been awhile since I messed with networking WIFI.. Anyway Linux loves Orinoco cards.. There may be something I'm forgetting , it has been a long time since I messed with it all..I just plug and go....
Buck.....
