This is a summary of what Mr.Tony Perrie of involution.com fame has wriiten. I include here with his permission. I encourage you to visit his site because he has a great "how-to" on IPtables.
The stock kernel driver to use with the WPC11 is the orinoco_cs. Make sure that it's loaded.
modprobe orinoco_cs |
If you get some error messages after executing modprobe, insure that the wavelan_cs and wvlan_cs drivers are unloaded. By doing
lsmod | egrep lan |
If they are loaded do the following:
rmmod wavelan_cs |
and
rmmod wvlan_cs |
The hack is putting the following in
/etc/pcmcia/hermes.conf. |
card "Instant Wireless Network PC Card"
manfid 0x0274,0x1613
bind "orinoco_cs"
Go to the Redhat System Tools and hit Configure. Then add a wireless device in Managed mode if you have an access point.
Setup dhcp, and the WEP key. The channel autoconfigures to 6 in managed mode.
service network restart |
