My friend has a 2.4.21-15EL OS and a RedHat contract. He would like
routinely add the updates to his computer from home. However, he is
having trouble connecting to his wireless network.
He has a USB wireless, Linksys connection.
"I tried using the linux wireless tools which I got on the
web.
First ifrename, then ifup, then I tried using the script
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-wireless
I would usually get something like:
eth0: no wireless detected.
/sbin/ifup and ifrename require a configureation file : /etc/ifcfg (or
something like
that)
so I set it up with
eth1 mac <mac address of wireless device>
I also tried using the Internet Configuration Wizard from the system
tools.
There is something called ndiswrappers which allows you to "wrap"
the windows driver for the device in a linux script but I think
you need to have kernel 2.6 in order to build that.
Thanks for assisting on this matter,"
