Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com Hi Pat How far have you gotten with the card so far? Hi Kevin, Last night I got the dwl 120 e configured with minimal problems. I should have worked but it did not. This evening I did a little more research and discovered that the atmel module does not work in the 2.6 kernel. I switched to the 2.4 and it came right up. I found a patch for 2.6 which I will apply as soon as I figure out how to apply a patch ;-) This at least gets me out of my office and into my Lazy-Boy to do email and news groups even if I have to drag a USB adapter with me. I am a happy camper. On to printing, samba, but for now I have my first totally usable Mandrake machine since I started playing wth 7.2 Hurrah!!! I will go back to the DWL g650 card once I have stopped gloating and have actully gotten a full weeks worth of real work done under Mandrake.

Is the dwlg650 11.b or 11g card for your laptop? I might consider getting one. Regards Kevin Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Wireless Lan on 10.0
I have installed 10.0 on my hp ze4325us laptop and the basic install was great. Video, sound, wired lan all working out of the box. I have not messed with samba or printing yet but I am working on getting DWLG650 card to work. I have found and ollowed several howtos and managed to update the kernel and install the modules. I have created the network script and have added alias ath0 ath_pci to modules.conf and modprobe. During startup I get the message the Ath0_pci cannot find the hardware. ineither ifconfig or iwconfig show the ath0. dmesg give me the following: ath_hal: no version for "struct_module" found: kernel tainted. ath_hal: module license 'Proprietary' taints kernel. ath_hal: No versions for exported symbols. Tainting kernel. ath_hal: 0.9.5.3 BETA (Sam Leffler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) wlan: No versions for exported symbols. Tainting kernel. wlan: 0.7.1.1 BETA (Sam Leffler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) ath_pci: 0.8.3.2 BETA (Sam Leffler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) PCI: Enabling device :02:00.0 ( -> 0002) ath_pci: cache line size not set; forcing 8 ath%d: unable to attach hardware; HAL status 13 Can anyone point me to what to do next? Is there a wireless G card out there that you can just pop in and go? Thanks, Pat Patterson Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
