Devryn Posted April 14, 2004 Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 I have a Netgear WG511T PCMCIA wireless adapter. I installed the madwifi RPM package that's available for Fedora Core 1 (my Linux distro). So I ran the package...It installed I guess and went back to the desktop. Now what? It still doesn't work. Please remember I know NOTHING about Linux at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mandrake_Mouse Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 (edited) Try these commands on a terminal and see what happens: modprobe wlan modprobe ath_hal modprobe ath_pci Those are the wireless modules that the RPM should have installed. If that doesn't work, look for files with a "ko" extension: #locate madwifi | grep ko use "insmod" to install the modules listed and restart your network with: #service network restart Be sure to do all of this as root, of course.
