It is in fact an internal PCI card (Mini-PCI) not a PCMCIA card.  Is
this still an issue?  Is there something I don't know?

I downloaded the Linux Drivers from the Cisco site per Jean Tourrilhes
instructions.
http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/sw-wireless.shtml

And followed all of the instructions.  The driver loads but when I run
the utilities it returns "radio not found"

Seems like the card isn't associated with the driver ... I'm relatively
new to Linux so I have no idea how to configure that ...

mg

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
