Following the above howto helped a bit on the way, but I'm nowhere near getting the wifi-card to connect. I've installed madwifi, ndiswrapper, dkms and whatnot in order to get this working, but still it's a no go. Centos does see the card in Administration/Network and the wireless network thing is visible in Network manager, but when I try connect or create a new connection to my wlan it just times out or says it couldn't connect for some reason. The wlan I'm trying to connect to is WPA2-PSK using AES. I'm using a 3Com 3CRWE154G72 IIRC, which according to the hwconf's using the prism54 driver/firmware/whatever. Would I maybe be better off reinstalling the whole shebang and have the wifi-card inserted from start in order for the centos installer to see it properly from the beginning? The experimental machine I use is not critical in any way. Only gotcha' is that it only has a CD-drive so I have to shuffle discs should I do a complete reinstall. 8-) Thx in advance for any advice.
