Presumably the 4100's would be Prism I or Prism II, so I think probably the Orinoco driver should just work. Plug it in when PCMCIA services are running and if it doesn't just work with 2.4.18 or better kernel, and the default kernel modules, I'd be surprised. Prism I cards suck a little with older drivers, and so I wouldn't recommend it as a "buy" if specifically for Linux gurus. You'll want the wireless tools package for the distro, so you can "iwconfig" the relevance ESSID. iwconfig is much like ifconfig, but you need to use both for wireless, ifconfig to set the IP address, iwconfig to set ESSID. Usually easier whilst setting them up to do it by hand.... It'll be eth0 or eth1 or ethN for some N depending how many ethernet ports you have so. ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2 (or suitable address), iwconfig eth0 ESSID MYESSID (you may have to add mode ad-hoc is not using managed mode with as access point). Once you can "ping" the access point IP address, finding the config files to make it permanent for your distro is down to the reader ;-) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE+639mGFXfHI9FVgYRAprvAKDAH0J5fv2uCmDhCpAjk8CI1smd+wCgiZYl L3Pt/6hXKpYNLntefhLuG88= =1UwX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
