Mandrake 10 + ThinkPad T40 (Cisco Aironet 802.11b integrated mini-PCI)
I've sort-of got this thing working. I installed the Cisco tools from the website, the latest version. I'm told "iwconfig" doesn't work, and it appears so:
Typing "ifconfig" shows "eth1" apparently properly configured: it reads in the "HWaddr", MTU, packets, interrupts, etc.
Typing "iwconfig" shows "eth1" as well, saying 802.11-DS as the connection type, with ESSID always set to null (even if I use iwconfig to change it -- I presume this kind of thing is what the guy meant by not working). It also shows the frequency (2.417GHz), power, sensitivity, link quality, etc. It shows it as not connected.
I go into /opt/cisco/bin, and run "bcard" -- which is supposed to configure the card. It runs cleanly, but with no output.
I then try to run ACU, which tells me "No radio found", and promptly exits.
This probably has something to do with most "airo" drivers actually being PCMCIA cards, while mine is a mini-PCI card...any ideas anyone?
