so... if it appears as a PCI card instead of a PCMCIA card, you might have issues :-/


modprobe aironet4500_cs

(thats the PCMCIA driver... never know)


[tommy@pickles net]$ ls -l aironet4500_*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14656 Dec 12 02:58 aironet4500_card.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 76676 Dec 12 02:58 aironet4500_core.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 80296 Dec 12 02:58 aironet4500_proc.o
[tommy@pickles net]$ pwd
/lib/modules/2.4.18-19.8.0/kernel/drivers/net


modprobe aironet4500_core
modprobe aironet4500_card
modprobe aironet4500_proc



I am not sure what order to put them it though

Try running 'neat' from the command line. And see if it see's and installs
the driver. We used it here on a Notebook with wireless network and it
worked very well. It didn't install the driver from Linux install, but
running neat fixed that for us.

Hi All,

I am running RH8 on a IBM T30.  My machine was shipped with an internal
"Cisco Aironet Mini-PCI Wireless Card by IBM." I thought the Aironet was
a pretty widely supported card under Linux but I am having some trouble
configuring it.

The system seems to acknowledge that the card is there:
if I /sbin/lspci I get

02:02.0 Network controller: AIRONET Wireless Communications: Unknown
device a504

If I try to add the wireless device however using the network
configuration tool it doesn't seem to recognize that this is a
network/wireless device ... the wizard menus only allow me to select
"Other wireless card."  I've tried this using several different drivers
(Cisco/Aironet 802.11 wireless, Aironet 4500 PCI) with little results.

Anyone out there have any words of wisdom?

thanks,

mg
