Actually it is the PCMCIA card that should be running with the yenta drivers. I got the madwifi driver and at least it is recognized by the system. I don't know how to connect however. The link level is 0. >> But returning >> FATAL: Module >> pcmcia:m0156c0002f06fn00pfn00paD726CF79pbCE1172FBpcD27DEB1Apd00000000 >> not found. > > That looks like you didn't build the orinoco_cs module with your kernel. Right. I've since fixed that, but it still doesn't seem to recognize the Dell TrueMobile 1150 Series PC Card. It is in /sys, but not in /proc/net/wireless. Its slightly interesting that the PCMCIA card is in /sys/bus/pci, but the built-in TrueMobile card is in /sys/bus/pcmcia. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
