Subject: New NetGear Wireless
PCMCIA
I installed a new NetGear
PCMCIA wireless card yesterday, along with a new wireless access point. The
box said it was compatible with all kinds of operating systems, including
Linux. I opened it up, stuck the card in and booted Windows. With not too much
hassle, I got everything working right. Then I looked in the documentation for
what to do when I boot into Linux. Not a word about Linux anywhere in the
docs., Go to NetGear's web site. Their answer is that they don't support
Linux, ask the Linux vendor. Don't that beat all? So, now I'm stuck without a
clue. How do I get Linux to recognize the wireless, set up the WEP encryption
(128 bit) and be able to network/internet with the wireless card?
BTW, am I missing something as far
as documentation goes? I've lots of information in man pages, a whole lot more
in HTML pages, and none of it has a decent index/search capability. I'm sorry,
but I'll be d***d before I sit down and plow through a manual page by page
just to find one tidbit of information I happen to need at the moment.
Understand me, I'm struggling mightily to get away from MS. The lack of an
effective documentation search mechanism is very much hindering the effort.
Surely there is an indexed (as in b-trieve) set of documentation that supports
basic word searching. Where is it?
Thanks.
