Hi, I'm trying to get my netgear ma401 802.11b PCMCIA wifi card working. it worked under slackware. I'm confused if this is a orinoco chipset or prism here is what's confusing me: dmesg: [most of it snipped just pasting the part relevant to this card] cs: memory probe 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff: clean. orinoco 0.13e (David Gibson , Pavel Roskin , et al) orinoco_cs 0.13e (David Gibson , Pavel Roskin , et al) divert: allocating divert_blk for eth1 eth1: Station identity 001f:0006:0001:0003 eth1: Looks like an Intersil firmware version 1.3.6 eth1: Ad-hoc demo mode supported eth1: IEEE standard IBSS ad-hoc mode supported eth1: WEP supported, 104-bit key eth1: MAC address 00:09:5B:23:3B:D6 eth1: Station name "Prism I" eth1: ready eth1: index 0x01: Vcc 5.0, irq 3, io 0x0100-0x013f at the top of the message it shows orinoco 0.13... and at the bottom it calls eth1: Station name "Prism I" Anyone know what this means? When I put the card in and try to use KWIFI manager it shows a picture of the pcmcia card with a ? question mark going thru it as if it is unrecognized. of course i do not connect. Also it just occurred to me that I juse gnome and this is a KDE utility. should i be using something else when in Gnome for wifi management. in any case ifconfig shows i'm not connected. mike hoy --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
