Since the October meeting, where we were wireless and fancy free, The WLAN-NG drivers have been fixed to work under redhat 8.0!
There were the inevitable compile time errors and the little issues after that, But take a peek at the 1.16pre-2 stuff if you had problems getting wireless on RH8.0! The drivers are still a work in progress, but what progress! Let me know if you have any results! I have successfully tried Linksys WUSB11 Ver2.5 usb wireless and DLink DWL650. If you have not tried wireless yet, be careful. This driver is written for Prism2-Prism3 based cards. NOTE: Vendor model numbers DO NOT reflect the change when they switch the main chip under the hood!!! There has been a ton of traffic about why doesnt the driver work, only to find that the NEXT release of the card had a different chip than the previous. By different I mean last release may have used Prism2.5 and next release used a chip from the ATMEL family which is NOT code compatable. (some of the chips do not have open specs or propritetary linux based drivers, buyer beware!!! Looking forward to the next meeting! Anyone for picking subjects ot be covered? Continuation of last meeting or new? Jerry
