Well, Given that Fry's ( A local Electronics store) had D-Links DL-713P wireless routers on sale for 89 US + a 50 buck mail in rebate I decided to take the wireless plunge. (a box to replace the 7 year old pI I use for my router/firewall that is dieing would cost more) OK I also bought a wireless card for the laptop. So far so good. Routers installed. and running (evidenced by this e-mail) ... BUT just like with my NIC card 9.0 is coughing and saying "What's D-Link?" Now to get the 10/100 nic running I added this to /etc/pcmcia/config
card "D-Link DE-670 Ethernet" version "D-Link", "DFE-670TXD" bind "pcnet_cs" Ok... card now works... Now comes the wireless card.... Did some googling and found that a number of people got it to work under 8.2 with this being added to /etc/pcmcia/config card "D-Link Air DWL-650 IEEE 802.11b Wireless LAN Adaptor" version "D", "Link DWL-650 11Mbps WLAN Card", "Version 01.02", "" bind "prism2" problem is 9.0 complains that prism2 is not a device. OK.... tried prism2_cs Same BS.... then tried orinoco_cs... it like that... course the card doesn't but pcmcia liked it. BTW modprobe prism2_cs does work... card doesn't but,,,,, I feel I'm making some progress. Seems looking around that I either back out to 8.2 or build a stock linux kernel.... Any suggestions? James
