Trying to config a Orinoco 11b/g card under Knoppix.
I get power to it, hence the little green light
flashes on it, but not getting out to the web with it.
When inserting the card, I get the following screen
output:
cs cb_alloc(bus 2): vendor 0x168c, device 0x0013
PCI: Enabled device 02:00 (0000 -> 0002)
I don't get a prompt after this, is my card
successfully mounted?
Is there a right way to mount/umount a wireless card?
I hit enter and then get my prompt.
cardctl ident shows:
socket 0:
product info: "Atheros Communications, Inc.",
"AR500-0000-0000", "Wireless LAN Reference Card", "))"
manfid: 0x271, 0x0012
function: 6 (network)
cardctl status shows:
Socket 0:
3.3v CardBus card
function 0: [ready]
Here are my modules in my kernel, that I think pertain
to wireless
orinoco_cs
orinoco
hermes
ds
yenta_socket
pcmcia_core
BUT, if I type
iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions
eth0 no wireless extensions
Now, I have a built in nic on this laptop, shouldn't
my wireless card show up at eth1? eth0 is for the
ethernat/lan nic, right?
Also, I've knocked out pump somehow. When I run
pump -i eth0
I don't get an ip address anymore from my dhcp server.
Is it not possible to switch from wireless mode to a
lan/ethernet mode under? Some places are wireless but
have a lan, while other places are only wireless.
thanks
