  3. Install belkin F5D7010 820.11G wireless pcmcia

    in Networking

    Posted · Edited by Arne

    Ian,

    I bought another card 'Linksys Wireless G model WPC54G' This on the compatible mdv 2006 list

     

    I start to doubt we will get the belkin to work. I think you use Linksys, right?

    I will not try this card before we have given up on the belkin.

     

    Ian,

    "I presume the lsmod, still shows rt2550 as loaded."

     

    yes the rt2500 is still loaded in lsmod.

    This is the output from 'syslog' after insert the card before I reboot

    It's a timeout here and then switching back to the ra0 thing.

    This is the Cli output before I reboot.

    The question 'remove the regular file "ifcfg-ra0"' confuse me. Is there unregural file with the same name or is it part of linux safety that this file is important and you should know what you are doing.

     

    I reboot now with the card inserted.

    ra0 is the pcmcia card in the notebook which have IP 10.0.0.4 not 10.0.0.6. Could it be that this IP 10.0.0.6 is the static address to the Access Point or....???? Otherwise it indicates that card is recognized and Ok.

     

    The have only 2 lights Lan and Radio. Could it be that this lights do not reflect if the card is recognized by the notebook????

     

    lsmod still include 'rt2500'

     

    /etc/modprobe.preload includes this:

    .
    [root@ast2 etc]# iwlist wlan0 scan

    wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning.

    This output was taken after booting Notebook with the card inserted. Still no light on the card.

     

    I start to wonder about the AP I have. It's a Belkin Travel router with 3 functions: router, adapter and Access Point trough a switch for the tree functions. It's not a dedicated AP. Any idee/comment on this?????

     

    Lastly, here is dmesg for insert the card on a running notebook:

    ndiswrapper: driver rt2500 (Ralink Technology, Inc.,06/10/2004, 2.02.06.0000) loaded

    ra0: no IPv6 routers present

     

    I must say I am confused about this 'ra0' versus 'wlan0' and the eventual conflict.

    Any new idee's from the forum. I am in, all over my head.

    Ian,

    As far as I understand the following is the proof that my card and driver is OK:

    My monitor (lover right screen) show ra0 connected.

     

    I think we are very close

     

    I don't know what to put in the mcc for which now show up in internet setup
