I am using kernel 2.4 and successfully installed, and complied the drivers from
http://www.linux-wlan.com/linux-wlan/
The card is a D-Link Model DWL-122 USB wireless card (Please see:)
http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=175
"Naturally", I can connect to the server (my neighbour's box, running
Windows XP professional, with little or no trouble ... when booted to my Windows XP
partition. However, with linux, I can now "see" the card, and even the server,
using this utility: KWiFiManager
http://kwifimanager.sourceforge.net/
In spite of this, I still do not seem to connect.(I test this by loading mozilla and
trying to get to *any* web page. I HAVE scanned this newsgroup for previous discussions on
"wireless" cards, but have not found anything that can help put the finger on
this problem.
I wonder if anyone here has had any success with this card and linux?
The links from
wlan.com show that that this card (supposedly) works with linux.
Any pointers, recommendations, or other links would be appreciated!
For the moment (at least) I must content myself with booting to Windows in order to get
internet access. :-( ... even though 2/3 of my hard disk is dedicated to linux!!!
TIA,
Elton Woo ;-)
