The website below deals with the linksys wpc 11 card. The card I am using is the WMP 11 v4 card. After contacting Linksys they informed me that they are working on a Linux driver now. They are in the testing phase currently. I'll likely try to get in on the test. I may proceed with the directions, but I'm afraid these chip sets are too different. I am going to install MDK 9.2 and see how it will treat it. I'm not counting on any other reaction that I am currently getting in Suse 9. My only other options are to find another card that can work or ( the most terrifying _) reinstalling winblows, or stringing a long cable thru the house. If any of you run across anything Please let me know. Thanks Regards, Steven On Monday 15 December 2003 11:00 am, Jerry A! wrote:

I've seen the same happen when some prism2 cards use the orinoco/hermes driver in compat mode. Try uncommenting the appropriate entry for your card in /etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng.opts and that should allow it to use the prism2_cs driver.
