Very Computer

Dear all:
  Have you ever tried to install Cisco aironet 350 wirless lan adapter
(pcmcia card) in redhat 7.2.
  In the cisco howmpage, i find the driver. I follow the instruction but i
can't run it.
By the way, i find that redhat 7.2 (kernel version 2.4.10) have already
contained this driver. can i compile it in kernel directly?

best regards
Lewis

No.  BTW, you don't need to start Usenet posts with a greeting.

What exactly did you try, and what were the exact error messages you
got?

You don't want to compile that directly into the kernel unless you know
what you're doing.  You really don't want to compile a module for a
PCMCIA device directly into the kernel, you want to leave it as a module
so that the PCMCIA card daemon can control it.  If the module is
included in a Redhat 7.2 install (it should be), you should be able to
insert the PCMCIA card into the socket, hear 2 high beeps, and be good
to go.  Edit /etc/pcmcia/network.opts to change the network
configuration, or use whatever GUI you like that handles this sort of
thing for Redhat.

If you hear a high beep, then a low beep, something's gone wrong, and
you should go consult the main Linux PCMCIA site at
http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/ .  If you post here again, include
more detailed information about the errors you get.  Also,

want to ask questions in technical forums and get useful replies.

Lewis..

I was having a problem getting this card to run on my Mandrake 8.2. I
went to the cisco web site and downloaded the newest drivers.. followed
their instructions to a "T" and no joy... would not recognize the card..
did this for several days.. then in a last ditch effort I went back to
the Cisco website to see if maybe I missed something.. and about 10mins
before I looked there, a new version of the drivers were uploaded. So I
downloaded these.. followed the instructions and BOOM.. It connected!!

looks like several of use were having trouble with it.....

Hope this helps..
