This was a little while back and I now have a 22meg Dlink which has a different chipset and not supported by Linux.
modprobe prism2_pci wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=enable wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_autojoin ssid=<your APs SSID> authtype=opensystem ifconfig wlan0 <yourIP> netmask <yourNetmask> broadcast <yourBroadcast> route add default gw <yourGateway> At this point it should work but mine didnt. I had to do a extra /etc/rc.d/init.d/wlan stop /etc/rc.d/init.d/wlan start then it would magically start working. Hope that helps Gary.
