Ok this is becoming a huge pain im my ass!
I downloaded redhat, installed it and everthing to find out it didnt accept my USB networking thing :P lol
Im a total linux n00b, ive succesfully installed numerous linux distributions, and played around with it but i never tried the internet before.

Now i installed i think its called Wlan
and i tried running this command:

cd /etc/pcmcia
./network start wireless

And it works, but i have no idea what it does, and i still cant connect my card up to this
I read a simular problem somewhere else on the fourms, but i never got it solved by that, and i guess microsoft uses prism? Right?

PLEASE HELP!

Hi and welcome to LQ http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...icle&artid=331 although discussing MN720 and 730 would be a good start point.

But im using redhat 9
And i dont see one for a redhat distribution
-Steve

It may be for SuSE, but the principles are the same - you need Ndiswrapper and the install files.

yes but there is no redhat distribution is my point (for the rpms)
-Steve

Red Hat 9 is OLD. I wonder why people still download it. If you want Red Hat...get Fedora Core 3. Is there a ndiswrapper for that?

Or you could just compile it in either 9 or FC3.

Hmm, i tried Fedora once and it wouldnt install correctly for some odd reason...
I like redhat, so does this mean i cant do this on redhat ?
-Steve

You can do it on Red Hat, but it's just a bit dated. Came out like two years ago.

You'll have to compile it yourself. Get the source download, and go from there.

hmm im a total n00b with linux, ok ill try it out
-Steve

Compiling shouldn't be too hard. In Linux compiling stuff is very scripted, so you should be able to run 3 commands to get everything installed. Then you configure it as the readme says.

k ill try
