HD Install :: laptop questions

i meant if you have a dsl line but that is a given since it is dsl

I got mine to work wireless, but i had to edit my /etc/pcmcia/config file, but i've had to do this for every distro since i use a generic prism2 card

Yes to both of your questions, I am using a old Hitchi laptop with a Orinoco Gold wireless card in it, and I have another Toshba laptop with a Linksys WPC-11 v2.5 wireless card in it. One of the laptops has a touch mouse and the other on has the little button that is in the middle of the keyboard, both work flawless.

My WPC11 ver 3 uses the hermes driver

If it wont load or autodetect at boot you can add the command

Code Sample

modprobe hermes
modprobe orinoco
modprobe orinoco_cs
ifconfig eth0 up

to your /etc/rc5.d/S99bootlocal file and it should force it to load

I use the Microsoft MN-520 card and it works great wirelessly. I had to edit the etc/pcmcia/config file and bind it to orinoco. Then I used the wireless utility to set the WEP key and ESSID.

Hi.

I have a Gateway solo and Orinoco gold card (WiFi 11 Mbits/s Gold). During boot DSL detects the card and it briefly (one flash) does something. The Netcardconfig also briefly flashes the cards access lights green but then reports:

"Sending DHCP broadcast from device eth0 Operation Failed."

Also when I try:

ndiswrapper -i /mnt/hda1/windows/wlluc48b.inf

I get an error message from this command that the hardware is not found.

Any help would be very appreciated
