pci wireless card not recognized
Hello all,
My problem is I have a Dell Truemobile 1150 silver wireless card that is plugged into a Texas Instruments PCI adaptor that I cannot get recognized in Xandros, Ubuntu, Fedora Core1-2-3, or any other distribution of linux. I know that these cards are supported because I once had it working in Mandrake 8.2 a couple years ago. Since then though I have had absolutely no luck duplicating that experience. I want to move back to linux but this issue is stopping me.
I feel confident that this is a configuration issue but I don't know how to begin. Presently I have Xandros 3.0 and the latest version of Ubuntu installed and running without much trouble. If you have any advice please be specific as to commands etc. as I'm not very versed in all the technical jargon.
So far ifconfig shows eth0 (my internet connection) but not the wireless card which should be eth1 and iwconfig says "no wireless extentions". Entering dmesg I get "cs: unable to map card memory". If more info is needed please ask. Also, I don't know if this matters but this is a pc I built myself and everything is working in winxp.
Thanks in advance,
Mike
