<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just an FYI to the group: I solved my dilemma and
now have a working laptop with wireless connectivity! Hold the applause
<wink></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In case anyone is interested in how I did it, I
must confess that I didn't do it with Mandrake 9.0 as I had hoped to. I used Red
Hat 8.0. I then followed the instructions provided by the crank himself (<A
href="http://linux.oldcrank.com/tips/wpc11/">http://linux.oldcrank.com/tips/wpc11/</A>)
and viola!, my Internet she is appearing on my laptop.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There is a side effect of using Red Hat (it seems I
always have to trade one problem for another): after playing a music CD, a
tapping sound keeps playing -- almost like an endless loop. Can anyone tell me
how to change my sound card options? I can't seem to figure it out in Red Hat
8.0.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks to all on this list that helped me try to
solve this issue.</FONT></DIV>

install help</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi guys.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I need some help installing my Linksys WPC11
wireless card onto my HP zt1180 laptop.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have installed, via RPM, the following
packages:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>kernel-wlan-ng ---- version
0.1.15-6</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>kernel-wlan-ng-modules-rh80.24 ---- version
0.1.15-6</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>kernel-wlan-ng-pcmcia ---- version
0.1.15-6</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Nothing happens. There isn't even a light on the
PCMCIA adapter! Keep in mind that this adapter has worked flawlessly under
Win2k and WinXP so I am pretty sure that the adapter is not
malfunctioning.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've run "/sbin/lsmod" but there is no pcmcia
adapter nor pcmcia service listed.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Whenever I try to "/sbin/cardctrl/ident" the
following message is returned: "no pcmcia driver in
/proc/devices"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think the problem is that my PCMCIA card/slot
is not being recognized. I think the drivers/software is set up correctly. I
have read lots of install info on the 'NET and they always talk of removing
and re-inserting the PCMCIA card and hearing beeps. I never hear any
beeps.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can anyone help me?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
