RE: [MLUG] 801.11 wireless card question

["McNutt, Justin M." <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

The only 802.11b card I've been able to get to work under Linux is the Cisco
Aironet 340 NIC (specifically).  The 350 NIC comes with Linux drivers, but I
wasn't able to make them work.

The PCMCIA driver package (and the kernel, for that matter) has come a long
way since then, though, and there are a lot of various WLAN drivers in both
packages.  Worth a shot.

tml might be a
good place to start...

I've got a co-worker that's trying to get a SMC wireless card to work
with RedHat 6.2.  It was part of a package (SMC 2620W) that includes
both the NAP and the card.  Has anyone gotten an SMC card to work under
Linux?  I figured with MU's 802.11 access points and the number of 
uber geeks on the list, somone must have tried this.

Muchos Banos!
