redhat 7.3 and WiFi problems

dtoff · 06-21-2002

ok so i understand that i need the pcmcia package and the WiFi package and in theory when i configure my network setting and i add my card wireless should be one of the options i.e. you go to add your card and it lists modem, wired nic, ect.. it worked fine in 7.2 .. should i try 7.2 and an upgrade to 7.3???

p.s. its a vaio ultra thin so the cd rom drive is in the pcmcia port during the install....

Why don't you just use 7.2?

I recently installed 7.3 on one of my laptops and it works fine with both my Enterasys CSIBD-AA (orinoco silver clone) and USR 2410 (prism) cards with no modifications.

You do get a message during boot that says to check for a better driver but "I will try to make it work" and it does.

works perfectly w/ my orinoco and usr2410, as well as netgear MA401 right out of the box.
