Hello Troy, I need to install wireless network in a linux 5 box. I did
find a spare Linksys Wireless-G 2.4GHz PCI card (model: WMP54G), so would
you like please tell me if such driver already exists, because when
listing: /lib/modules/2.6.18-53.1.4.el5/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ , it
seems the only driver I recall, that probably matches here is orinoco???
Regards, rachid .

I just downloaded Scientific Linux 4.5, and am trying to install the driver

http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/INSTALL) require you to check the autoconf.h
file, and be able to delete current versions of ieee80211 and ipw2200(which
I am pretty sure is specific to the wireless card, so that is probably not
an issue) which includes removing config files for these drivers in the
autoconf.h file. However, if I go to /lib/modules/'uname -r'
there is no /build folder. It seems that the kernel autoconf.h file is
hidden. How can I get access to this file so I can alter it and configure
the wireless?

Hi,
I don't know if anyone has replied to you offlist. But, just incase they
didn't here goes.
ipw2200 is supplied in the kernel that comes with SL 4.5.
/lib/modules/<kernel>/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ipw2200.ko
But, you also need the firmware to activate it, which is also in the
distribution.
rpm -q ipw2200-firmware
and if it isn't there
yum install ipw2200-firmware
I know that isn't answering exactly what you asked, but I figured it might
help you do work that is already done.
Troy
