I just installed a D-Link DCF-650W on my laptop (SuSE 8.0) with a slightly-hacked CF-PCMCIA adapter.
I thought it strange that my card also identified itself to card services as a ZCOM XI-300.
I got mine going when I switched from 'kernel' to 'external' PCMCIA support,
Already done this. 'kernel' seems to fall over in an even bigger heap.
and added the following to my /etc/pcmcia/config:
card "D-Link DCF-650W" #card "Z-Com XI300 11Mb/s 802.11b WLAN Card" manfid 0xd601, 0x0002 bind "wvlan_cs"
Hmm, I had assumed that the "card" parameter was just a string to print for the user, and that the "bind" line was the important one. I didn't realise that the card parameter had significance.
Try running `cardctl ident` and see what it tells you...
Will do, when I get home. Thanks.
I also edited /etc/dhclient.conf and changed 'initial-interval 2' to 'initial-interval 5' when I was failing on initial attempts to negotiate a DHCP IP address.
I'm not worried about DHCP at the moment - I'm willing to use fixed IP, at least until I get something working... Thanks for the help. -- David Smith Work Email: Dave.Smith@st.com STMicroelectronics Home Email: David.Smith@ds-electronics.co.uk Bristol, England GPG Key: 0xF13192F2
