wireless lan Confugure WN311T


PS I am using RHEL 5.3.

Hi
The card I have is a Marvell chipset Netgear wn311T card. Marvell website (www.marvell.com and downloads tab) said it had a driver but after much flaffing aroung I realized the driver it had was 32 bit. The linux driver itself was not good either. So finally I ndiswrapped it.

I then $ndiswrapper -l
yk51x64 : driver installed

GOOD ..... well I run $neat and I don't have my card listed
SO then I go to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and copy eth0 to eth1 now am I suppose to fill this out? Is the MAC address the same as the ethernet card? what is the Channel length etc etc????

SO I waste nobodies time unnecessarily, I hereby attach further information:


$iwconfig and get the following:

lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

sit0 no wireless extensions.

Finally I $iwlist wlan0 scan and get the following

wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning.

$lspci -v I get the following

03:07.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88W8361 [TopDog] 802.
11n Wireless (rev 03)
Subsystem: Netgear Unknown device 7e00
Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 5
Memory at fdde0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
Memory at fddd0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2

Thanks in Advance

When I run neat this is what I get now:
Determining IP information for wlan0... failed; no link present. Check cable?

Any ideas? Is the card working etc? Also if I paid for the redhat basic websupport will I get help with this sort of thing? Thanks!
