Hi out there, I am desperate :( - everything works except the wireless stuff.... For some hours I tried to enable a wireless pci-adapter/pcmcia-card device. According to the manufacturer's site the card is supported in linux for it is a prism II based pcmcia-system (I suppose I should use the orinoco driver - or am I wrong??) During boot process the device is obviousely recognized:
cardmgr[1166]: product info: "", "IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN/PC Card","" Thanks to Ben I thought to activate the device according to his reply in marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=mandrake-cooker-ppc&m=100118225827793&w=2 In addition in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (that should be the wireless interface...) I do not know exactly why and how to edit the following lines for this computer should work as a dhcp-server on an office lan... So I think the last line is useless, 'cause the computer itself should be the accesspoint - again, am I wrong?? WIRELESS_ENC_KEY=encryptionkeyforwep WIRELESS_ESSID=nameofaccesspoint Greetings Harald
