Very Computer

Hello all,

I have been trying to go wireless and it has been a very frustrating
experience.  It started when I found out that my d-link ap didn't work
right with zoomtown, but I now have a linksys that is working well.

My problem, is that I can't get the wireless card (D-link 650+) to work
in linux.  It works fine in Windows, so I am pretty sure it is my config.
 I am running a RH system with a 2.4.18 kernel.  I have built and
installed linux-wlan-ng-0.1.14 and pcmcia-cs-3.2.1.  It is setup with
pcmcia in the kernel.

Upon starting pcmcia and inserting the card, I get this in
/var/log/messages:
Aug 23 09:42:13 eneac cardmgr[2967]: watching 2 sockets

I can load prism2_cs with modprobe, and the following is in my
wlan-ng.conf:
card "D-Link DWL-650 11Mbps 802.11b WLAN Card"
   version "D", "Link DWL-650 11Mbps WLAN Card", "Version 01.02"
   bind "prism2_cs"

card "D-Link DWL-650 11Mbps 802.11b WLAN Card NESS"
   version "Wireless Network CardBus PC Card", "Global"
   manfid 0x0097, 0x8402
   bind "prism2_cs"

card "D-Link DWL-650 11Mbps 802.11b WLAN Card NESS2"
   manfid 0x104c, 0x8400
   bind "prism2_cs"

The extra stuff that I added (second 2) are because 'cardctl ident' reports the
following:
Socket 0:
  no product info available
Socket 1:
  product info: "Wireless Network CardBus PC Card", "Global", "", ""
  manfid: 0x0097, 0x8402

I have tried other similar varients in the wlan-ng.conf and the pcmcia
config looks for ./*.conf at the end of itself, so the wlan-ng.conf
should be getting loaded.

Any help would be great, thanks in advance,
Badger

Problem solved, well sort of.  I read that the DWL-650 and the DWL-650+
are based on diffent chipsets and the plus is not yet supported.  I
returned it and got a Linksys WCP11 ver.3 - worked the second I plugged
it in!  Can't beat that.
