Hi, I run redhat 9 on a laptop and recently got wireless to work
through an Orinoco Gold pcmcia card. There were a couple snags in the
setup though, which should be easy to change:
1. For some reason redhat tried to use the wavelan module, when the
the orinoco_cs driver is newer and better supported. See
http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Linux.Wireless.drivers.html#WavelanIEEE
The newer kernels include that module, but the /etc/pcmcia/config
must be updated to use those drivers.
2. The redhat-config-network program doesn't seem to have any option
to turn off encryption. I had to manually edit
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-wireless to include the line
'iwconfig $DEVICE enc off'
I haven't tried the new beta, so maybe these problems are already
fixed.
