Relic2K Posted December 4, 2003 Report Share Posted December 4, 2003 Dear all ive got a dlink 520+ wireless card and need to apply the sid name to it and also the encryption code for it. Can anyone advice me how to do this. Many thanks Need more specs, you need to know the chipset of the wireless divice, and is it USB, PCI, or PCMCIA ? Is Mandrake detecting the wireless divice ? I have a wireless USB LinkSys WUSB11 version 2.8, and I could not do anything to set it up until it was detected by Mandrake 9.1. I am almost there now, I just need to do a few more things yet. I did manage to get the driver compiled and when I plug in the USB device, it is being recognized. Now I just have put in the settings to see if the WLAN0 actaully communicates with the Access Point/Router. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fissy Posted December 4, 2003 Report Share Posted December 4, 2003 ok heres the link i think you should be using: http://rhlx01.fht-esslingen.de/~andi/acx10....2.0pre6.tar.gz there are a lot of packages in that directory so its difficult to tell. Read that readme carefully! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fissy Posted December 4, 2003 Report Share Posted December 4, 2003 Unless someone else here has already done it, i think you're going to have to read the readme. I don't know much more than you on this, just that link address. I'll have a go at installing it, but its on my list of things to do over the christmas holiday. -fissy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
