I run Mandrake 9.0 on my laptop.I have a linksys WPC 11 wireless (802.11b) card which i would like to make use of while working on Linux.
I got the driver from Linksys and configured it such that I use pcmcia_cs instead of kernel PCMCIA code.the driver was compiled and successfully installed.
i opened the wlan-ng.opts file to insert the SSID of the network which in my case is (SMU1911).The campus network uses DHCP.
However modifing the file and restarting pcmcia did not help.
I know for sure the device is installed because cardctl ident shows the device name correctly.Also when I try to connect from the Mandrake Control center I can see that although bytes are being received, no bytes are being sent.
Is there anything that i failed to tweak.what else do i need to have a look at and modify?
TIA
