kuknoppix · 02-15-2004, 01:49 PM

I am running a Linksys WPC 11 v 4 PCMCIA Card on my Laptop.

According to the lists, it is compatible..Why is it not being recognized then?

I ran ifconfig wlan0:
wlan0: error fetching interface information: Device not found

When I ran sbin/cardctl ident
Socket: 0
product info: Realtek, Rtl8139
manfid: 0x0000, 0x024c
function: 6(network)

I am a newb but am posting all that info since I went through some threads and someone made sende out of those messages.

Please help

Huge, big monstrous thread on this guy:

The driver isn't stock, you can get it from www.realtek.com.tw, its a horrible driver.

If your kernel is newer then 2.4.21, you'll have to backport.
