Fedora Core 2Test1 - PCMCIA Wireless problems

[Pratik Mehta]

Hi,

 I have Cisco 350, so that is fine. When i installed the FC2 test 1, i think i had kernel 2.6.1 ....I can use the ethernet to connect to redhat network and update it. Will this give me a new kernel 2.6.3 or do i have to build one.

Also if it's the Cisco MPI350, and not a PCMCIA 350, he'll need at least
kernel 2.6.3, and I expect he might run into this bug 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=117022 
if he's using WEP. 

FWIW, I've had the PCMCIA 350 working in both FC2 test 1 on a Tecra
8100 and IBM ThinkPad t41. The MPI350 is still a special case, it
seems. You'll need the card to be at no more than the 5.00.03 firmware
for it to work in Linux - the newer firmware isn't supported just
yet.
