I am running Debian 3.0 with kernel 2.4.16 on a ThinkPad T23. It has a built-in wireless capability--through a "mini-combo" PCI card. (It is *not* a PCMCIA card.) The wireless network adapter is a "IBM High Rate Wireless LAN MiniPCI Combo Card." It is made by Actiontec Electronics, Inc--it appears to have a PRISM chipset.
Reading through various wireless websites and Wireless-HOWTO, I think that the driver/module for this adapter is either "Hermes" or "Orinoco". Amazingly, both are available as kernel modules. I have succesfully been able to modprobe both, but that is as far as I get. I am stuck. I am not sure what to do next. Looking throug dmesg, it appears that the kernel recognizes the presence of the PCI card, but it does not automatically assign it to eth1 like it does eth0 with the Ethernet card. Moreover, I am unable to use the ifconfig or ifup commands. Any suggestions would be most helpful. Bryan Daniels __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
