|
| First, I'm running KRUD Red Hat 7.3 and started out by adding:
|
|    card "D-Link DWL-650"
|       manfid 0x0156, 0x0002
|       bind "wvlan_cs"
|
| to /etc/pcmcia/config as suggested on the web at
| <http://www.focusresearch.com/dwl-650.html>.  I didn't run netconfig as
| they suggested and figured I could start the interface using
|
|    /sbin/iwconfig eth1
|
| That does give me a listing of info, but the values look rather
| suspicious.  For example - Frequency:10.885GHz !
|
| Looking at the log files I find a section that reads:
|
|    wvlan_cs:  WaveLan/IEEE PCMCIA driver v1.0.6
|    wvlan_cs:  (c) Andreas Neuhaus <andy at fasta.fh-dortmund.de>
|    wvlan_cs:  index 0x01: Vcc 3.3, irq 3, io 0x0100-0x013f
|    wvlan_cs:  Registered netdevice eth1
|    wvlan_cs:  MAC address on eth1 is 00 05 5d ed 8c c1
|    wvlan_cs:  Unrecognised card, card return vendor = 0x0005, please
report ...
|    wvlan_cs:  Found firmware 0x10003 (vendor 5) - Firmware
capabilities: 0-0-0-0-0
|
| Look like I'm partly there, but not quite.  Anything I'm doing that is
| obviously wrong?  Suggestions?
