WPC11 ver 4 card

djgerbavore · 07-19-2004, 01:16 PM

i was just curious if anyone got the wpc11 ver 4 card to work? if they did what distro? what method (ndiswrapper, or the realtex drivers)? what kernel? I have slackware 9.1 with a 2.2.24 kernel, and i wanted to set it up. before i get any further, i want to know if i should upgrade kernel, or switch distro. I read alot about this card, but no one was clear if they got it to work or not. thank for the help.

I have mine working (with ndis wrapper and winXP drivers) on SUSE 9.1, kernel 2.6.5.

and yes, mine is a v. 4 card

Here's my iwcofig:

Code:

lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

sit0      no wireless extensions.

wlan0     IEEE 802.11b  ESSID:"linksys"  Nickname:"linux"

          RTS thr=2432 B   Fragment thr=2432 B
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:off

          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

Keep in mind that I am not using WEP, so I don't know how it works with it. I have MAC address restriction on my router because I was having problems with getting the Mac iBook and airport extreme card working with WEP, so just got rid of it.
