"Just now I succeeded in using Microsoft's Wireless N/W hardware with RedHat Linux 8. The hardware I used: 1. Microsoft Wireless Notebook Adapter MN-520 2. Microsoft Wireless Base Station MN-500 I added the following to /etc/pcmcia/config : card "Microsoft Wireless Notebook Adapter MN-520 1.0.3" version "Microsoft", "Wireless Notebook Adapter MN-520", "", "1.0.3" bind "orinoco_cs" I configured this device as eth1 and entered the following for Wireless configuration: 1. Mode: Ad-Hoc 2. SSID Specified : my_wireless_network_name Channel : 11 (I am using 11) Transmit : 11Mbps Key : my_encryption_key (for 128bit) This is working great for me. This is very useful for anyone using dual boot (I am using XP and RHL 8). My Windows XP uses the same hardware. Now RHL also uses the same hardware. If you have any questions regarding my setup please feel free to contact me at cuddapah@hotmail.com Thanx, Chakravarthy Cuddapah" any help would be appreicated http://homepage.mac.com/cuddapah/wireless.html theres the link if you want to use the notebook adapter in rh. enjoy neowinners. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
