My question is about setting up and using wireless using an AWD154 PCI card. This card is plugged into my COMPAQ Deskpro EN, which is running 2.6.8-386 debian 3.1. This card works fine under windows on another machine.
I have install iwconfig with other wireless tools package, using apt-get. I have read through yet, clearly have not understood how to properly set up the machine to enable wireless, in /etc/network/interfaces and elsewhere. I have a section for 'wlan0', the name assigned to this wireless card. The wireless access works for other machines similarly equipped, i.e., a win xp pro laptop with internal wireless hooks up just fine, consistently, so I know the AP signal is there and working. When I allow the machine to boot with the wlan0 section uncommented out, I get continual errors, as it hunts for components it needs to run. This prevents the system from loading or running correctly until I comment out the wlan0 section in /etc/network/interfaces. lspci sees the card, though comments that is it of unknown make. I have installed and tried waproamd to get it working, to no avail. I am stuck. Anyone know how I might proceed to enable wireless on this machine? Scott
