Hi everyone, I'm trying to get my Orinoco wireless card to work with Red Hat 7.3 on my Dell Inspiron 5000e but have been having trouble. So today I figured I'd try playing by the rules and use the Red Hat Network Configuration tool.
I've got version 1.0.1 of redhat-config-network.rpm (the one that came with 7.3). When I click on the Add button, I see entries for Ethernet, ISDN, modem, xDSL, Token Ring, Cipe - but not for Wireless. The Red Hat online documentation says that there should be an entry for Wireless devices (I guess as of 7.2), but interestingly my Help file for redhat-config-network doesn't list Wireless devices - I guess though that that is just a documentation oversight. To make sure I didn't screw up my settings when I was experimenting earlier, I threw away my /etc/pcmcia folder and reinstalled the Kernel-pcmcia-cs and wireless-tools RPMs. When I start my computer, during the boot process it shows a line or two about Yenta and then gives PCMCIA the green light. If I do lsmod, the proper driver (orino_cs) shows up. When I insert my Orinoco card, I get two happy beeps. dmesg shows the card as properly identified. So why can I not use redhat-config-network to configure my wireless modem? Is there another user-friendly way to configure my wireless card? Until today, I tried installing Lucent's driver (wavelan2_cs) but I get confused trying to figure out how exactly I'm supposed to edit the /etc/pcmcia/config.opts files (since there seems to be some configuration conflict between how pcmcia-cs.tar.gz does things and the way Red Hat set things up) - so I'm trying to simplify my life by going with the Orinoco_cs driver and the standard Red Hat GUI tools... I'm not an engineer, so I'd appreciate it if you could help me using newbie-lingo :) Thanks, Bart __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
