[newbie] Wireless wpc54g ver2
I hope some one can point me in the right direction. This card uses the TI chipset and is recognized on boot but does not load. From dmesg I collected the following: PCI: Enabling device :02:00.0 ( - 0002) PCI: Setting latency timer of device :02:00.0 to 64 acx100_probe_pci: WARNING: ACX111 support is highly experimental!

Thanks Pat You need the proprietary firmware for your card from your Windows CD This HOWTO should help you http://www.houseofcraig.net/acx100_howto.php Firmware usually goes in /lib/hotplug/firmware in Mandrake although the HOWTO mentions a different location. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
