wireless on linux

[spazzmatrix]

Ok, heres something I have been wanting to know for some time now but just havent found exactly what I need.

I am wanting to learn how to install the ORINOCO 11mbps wav-lan card in linux. The pcmcia adapter is auto-detected but the card is not.

Any sugestions on where to look or anyone have a "tutorial"?

thanks

Hi. I'm not sure about wireless lan, but my network card required me to edit some of the configuration files in the pcmcia services directory.

/etc/pcmcia/network.opts

I notice there is also a
/etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts

You may need to edit one or more of the above before your services will work.
Hope this helps.

Happy Hacking

I looked at wavelan.com for some help, they seam to have updated the linux how-to, so I found what I need now. Thanks for the pointer though it did help.

While we're on the subject, has anyone here any experience with wireless wans? We're working on setting up a 11mps wan around belfast (see http://belfast.irishwan.org for more details) and i would appreciate any input from anyone who has any experience in this field.
