Re: [expert] Wireless LAN on Linux
On Saturday 27 January 2001 03:58, Luis Chardon wrote: I recently got the idea to setup a 11Mbps wireless lan at home and I wanted to get something that I can use both on winblows and Linux, for less than $500. I was looking in the pcmcia-cs's SUPPORTED.CARDS file and I was wandering if any of you are using any of these cards under Linux. I have already tried the CISCO 340 and the Raylink/BreezeCOM and both work fine but CISCO is way too expensive and Raylink is only 2Mbps. I'm considering buying a Linksys accespoint and PCMCIA card which adds up arond the $400, but on the pcmcia-cs's documentation says that some features are missing, but don't say which. I'm also considering the D-Link and SMC systems, which of course are the most afordable ones. Please let me know if you have had any experience with these guys, or if you alredy have something similar with any other products. Thanks, Luis I've already got an Apple Airport base station (For my wife's ibook, $299 BTW) so I purchased an Orinoco (Lucent) Wavelan Silver card for my laptop which runs L-M 7.2 and Win ME. This card is so Linux compatible, they have drivers on the CD, along with Windows and MAC drivers. That's still pretty rare. The card that Apple uses for all their wireless devices is simply a relabled Lucent silver, without an antenna. -- Steve

[expert] Mandrake 7.2 on Compaq 17XL360
Mandrake 7.2 installed easily on my new Compaq 17XL360. One reason I bought this model is that older 1700/1800 models had Intel EtherExpress Pro/100 built in. Of course, this new version have something called "Compaq 10_100 MiniPCI Ethernet NIC" instead. Has anyone had any luck finding any information about the chip used and which driver might work?? I've searched deja.com, Linux on Laptops and the web in general... No luck, yet. -- Steve
