You're sure that it's the pcmcia card? It doesn't really make sense as one pcmcia card is definitively a orinoco according to the module alias. Or maybe the built-in card is also connected to the pcmcia bus? How to connect depends on your network. Unencrypted, WEP, WPA-PSK, WPA-EAP,... You should use Wireless Tools 28 for madwifi to get proper scanning behaviour. iwconfig should suffice for manually connecting to unencrypted and WEP networks. "iwconfig ath0 essid SSID key WEPKEY" or something like that. > > >> But returning > >> FATAL: Module > >> pcmcia:m0156c0002f06fn00pfn00paD726CF79pbCE1172FBpcD27DEB1Apd00000000 > >> not found. > > > > That looks like you didn't build the orinoco_cs module with your kernel. > > Right.

So, the TrueMobile is a PC Card and not built-in?

So maybe it's vice versa? Regards, Jürg -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
