Guest chad Posted December 2, 2002 Report Share Posted December 2, 2002 Hi all, I have a Linksys wireless pcmcia NIC (WPC11) and I'm trying to configure it with Mandrake 9. Mandrake seems to recognize the card okay but the system will intermittently lock-up. Anyone have any ideas on this? I'm figuring that it's a driver or config issue but I can't seem to figure it out. I've checked quite a few websites on wireless NIC configuration under Linux but still can't get it working properly. I'm new to the world of wireless so I'm pretty sure it's something I'm not doing right. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SunnyJim Posted December 9, 2002 Report Share Posted December 9, 2002 How new is your card? The WPC11 was the card of choice but they recently changed the chipset. Issue this command a terminal window and let us know what if gives you. /sbin/cardctl ident Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
83mercedes Posted December 14, 2002 Report Share Posted December 14, 2002 I've been waiting, but I guess chad isn't gonna get back to us... Anyway, I was wondering a similar question: I want to purchase a Linksys BEFW11S4 wireless access point router with 4 port switch, and a Linksys WUSB11 wireless USB network adapter. I'm just wondering if anybody here has these items, and is using them, and what it takes to configure them. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
