I'm trying to ping Jamie about it b/c I think he has the same exact wireless card. Kbob and I put in an order together on it, and kbob gave his to jamie and he supposedly got it working. So he'd be a good place to get tips.
It's a Proxim Rangelan-DS, model 8430. I've seen people say 8433 and 8434 work but mine is an older one with a different chipset (I think). The only place I find in google of someone saying it can work in Linux is this link: http://www.personaltelco.net/index.cgi/RussellSenior I think we spent $30 or so on it so I'm not totally against buying another one that I know works in Linux and using that one for Window's only. Anyone have extra pcmcia cards? :) -Rob > On 20030717.1054, Ben Barrett said ... > > (BTW, Jamie is not a redhat guy) -- I just upgraded from RedHat 7.3 to > 9, and have been trying to get wireless working on campus (I can get my > winders connected no problem, there) -- but I *have* gotten wireless to > work from linux at home.
