So my friend was nice enough to get me a wireless card for Christmas (turns out he just wanted me to stop dragging cat5 all over his house when I come over), and surprise, he bought one that works in Linux.... or is supposed to anyway. This thing will not work for me for some reason.
I am using:
Debian sid Linksys WPC11 v4 802.11b wireless pcmcia card Kernel 2.4.22 linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1-pre9
Here's what I have tried:
1. I have compiled the kernel (2.4.22) _without_ any pcmcia support as suggested in some of the how-tos I have seen.
2. Compiled the pcmcia-cs sources and installed them
3. Compiled and installed the prism2_cs driver from wlan-ng
When I put the card into the pcmcia slot, the power led comes on. It does not automatically load the prism2_cs driver for me (pcmcia services is running) - so I tried loading the driver myself. It loads fine, but I have yet to see a wlan0 in ifconfig. The card is listed in the /etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng.conf as this:
card "Linksys WPC11 11Mbps 802.11b WLAN Card" version "Instant Wireless ", " Network PC CARD", "Version 01.02" bind "prism2_cs"
What am I doing wrong? I have also tried compiling pcmcia support into the kernel instead, but I get the exact same results that way.
Thanks for your help,
Adam Olsen
