Hi guys/gals, I have here a laptop I have put Gentoo on for a friend. I am currently trying to get his wireless card working. I have asked the gentoo-laptop mailing list, but a reply is still pending after about a week. Maybe you guys can offer more help.
Under the direction of someone on the laptop list, I put drivers on the laptop for his PCMCIA wireless network card. http://acx100.sourceforge.net His wireless network card is the DLink DWL-650+, which the driver's website has posted as working. So, I started following the install guide, up to this point. The problem is, something is not matching. Here is a quote from my message to the laptop list which got no reply. THIS IS FROM THE INSTALL GUIDE: >>Successful output looks similar to this: >> >> # lspci -n >> 00:00.0 Class 0600: 8086:7192 (rev 02) >> 00:02.0 Class 0607: 104c:ac16 (rev 02) >> 00:02.1 Class 0607: 104c:ac16 (rev 02) >> 00:03.0 Class 0300: 10c8:0004 (rev 01) >> 00:07.0 Class 0680: 8086:7110 (rev 01) >> 00:07.1 Class 0101: 8086:7111 (rev 01) >> 00:07.2 Class 0c03: 8086:7112 (rev 01) >> 00:07.3 Class 0680: 8086:7113 (rev 01) >> 05:00.0 Class 0280: 104c:8400 >> >> That listing is taken from running lspci -n on my >> ThinkPad 600 with my SMC 2435w CardBus card plugged >> in. Out of those 9 lines listed, we're only interested >> in that last one: >> 05:00.0 Class 0280: 104c:8400 >> >> because it contains one of the 3 combinations listed >> below at it's end: >> 104c:8400 (acx100 CardBus) >> 104c:8401 (acx100 PCI) >> 104c:9066 (acx111 Cardbus/PCI) > > Now, back to Ian's issue: I didn't get one of those combinations. The Panasonic computer gets: Class 0600: 8086:7194 (rev 01) Class 0401: 8086:7195 Class 0300: 126f:0710 (rev a3) Class 0607: 1180:0475 (rev 80) Class 0601: 8086:7198 (rev 01) Class 0101: 8086:7199 Class 0c03: 8086:719a Class 0680: 8086:719b Class 0780: 10b7:1006 So yes, no correct combination at the end... Thats where it stands right now. If you have any suggestions at all, please offer them. :) ~~Thanks _so_ much for all of the help!!!!~~ Ian So thats where I stand. Please help me! :) My poor friend has been without internet for like 2 months now..... Thanks for the help! Ian
