    Hi everyone.

Is DLink 711 DWL-650 PCMCIA card is compatible with Linux red hat 7.3? Did
anyone got success in configuring the card. I have bought DLink 711 Wireless
Router and was planning to bring in the above card for my laptop so that I
can set up a Wireless network.

Thanks

Don't know if red hat will autodetect it, but its supported on linux by
no fewer than three different drivers (wvlan_cs, orinoco_cs, and
prism2_cs).  The first is in the pcmcia_cs package, the second built into
the kernel, and the third part of the wlan-ng project.  You might have to
change some of the pcmcia_cs options but it should work fine.

I was able to get this card to work with the hostap driver.  This was
under Debian so you may need to compile the source.
