Wireless 802.11 LAN card driver problem on PowerBook

Hi All,

Has anyone got the drivers for the D-link DWL-650 PCMCIA card working?

I have the following message on inserting the card:

--------------

Nov  8 17:13:20 localhost cardmgr[11591]: get dev info on socket 0

-------------

Any help appreciated. It seems that the card-manager cannot map the
cards memory. Not sure what to try next.Maybe it thinks the card is a
memory card. If that is so, how to I set the config file to tell it to
look for a Lan card.

Cheers,

1. Cisco Aironet 350 Wireless PCI 802.11 card - problems!

Hello All:

I am having much difficulties getting a Cisco Aironet 350 Wirless PCI
card to work under linux.  The "PCI" card is really a pci card with a
socket which holds the pcmcia card.

Cisco has drivers for linux on their website.  They list 3 possible
ways to install the drivers and get the card to work.  I am installing
this card in a machine with a fresh install of Redhat 7.1.

brief description of Ciscos 3 install methods.
1)   Use their pre-compiled binaries for Redhat 7.1
2)  Patch your pristine redhat 7.1 kernel sources and compile to
create the modules you need
3)  remove pcmcia support from the kernel.  Download a recent version
of the pcmcia-cs package.  Replace the airo module sources with the
new cisco sources, compile and install.

None of these methods seems to work for me.  It is not that I have any
trouble performing the steps, but pcmcia support never loads and if I
load the airo.o driver manually it loads but locks the machine up.  I
have tried this card in two different machines.

Has anyone successfully configured and setup a Cisco 350 aironet PCI
card?  I would appreciate your experiences.

Cheers!
