I think I'm close to getting my wireless card to work on my laptop, there's just a final block for me.
I'm a Red Hat Refugee, I just got sick of downloading so many ISO images and RH changing it's look and feel so much and all the time getting SLOWER. So now I run DSL and I installed it no problem off my usb pendrive and I'm really impressed!
When I first put my SMC prism2_cs based card in the slot the module loaded immediatly (verified with lsmod) and it apeared to find the card in the syslog as a DemarcTech Relia-Wave 180mW 802.11b (which it's an SMC2532W-B whatver, they're both prism2_cs) but the interface never came up.
So figured out to edit /etc/network/interfaces and add the wlan0 interface there, and then to uncomment the prism2_cs alaias in /etc/modutils/linux-wlan-ng and reboot and now the interface comes up when I insert in the slot and pump sends out a dhcp discover but it fails to hook up with the access point!
Here's where I'm blocked. I figure there must be some place somewhere I can put in the wireless info like the network id and stuff, but I can't find it and I'm unfamilar with debian layout (help the RH Refugees!) Any suggestions?
Thanks!
