MythDora (RH FC 3 based) 3.2 is installed. Next is wifi connectivity
because I simply can't cable that far in this old house.

The card in question is a Prism card. Picked up on boot according to both
dmesg and /var/log/messages. They call it wifi0. No wifi0 appears in /dev.

I used the RH GUI tools to set up the ifup scripts, checking all the
parameters against working machines. The channel, modes, and WEP mojo all
match. I chose not to bind to a HW Addr, not knowing if the probe had
gotten the card of eth0 on the MB. Don't knwo how to probe a card for its
HW Addr (something in /proc?).

I suspect that the right module needs to be found and loaded.

Could you most kindly tell me what diagnostics to run so I can sound more
intelligent asking for help?

Oh, ping says network unreachable. No DHCP, all static.

TIA,
