I have exactly that card and what I did is this: (I'm a complete WLAN newcomer and know nothing) - install 8.2 - buy this card - go into a Starbucks with wireless access - power on the notebook - insert the card - su - (become root) - "ifup-dhcp wlan0" (done, next comes the for-pay part) - start Netscape, go to any URL - the page that comes up was the HotSpot login page - I subscribed (pay-as-you-go) and logged in - I was online My experience with yast2, which I also tried: Forget it. I was told this card uses another driver than what yast2 supports/expects. I don't care, it works beautifully without yast2! Greg Macek wrote:
Alright everybody,
Just got my shiny new 8.2 discs in the mail today and I'm testing it out on a Dell inspiron 5000. Install and hardware detection very smooth. Overall I like it (only had an hour or so). However, I'm trying to get this Linksys WPC11v3 PC Card to work and am running into trouble. YaST doesn't recognize the card.
For those who have it working, can you please lay out the steps you took to get this working (for 8.1 or 8.2)? Things such as config files changed/edited/added/etc. would be great. I'd love to get this card working under linux. Thanks all.
