Krbrock,

If you have any trouble with yours let me know...I got my Linksys wpc11 v4 wireless card working pretty easily.

Linksys changed the internal workings of their adapters without much warning.  Some of the chipsets worked with linux and others don't.

Quick update.  Used "cardctl ident" and received RealTek Rtl 8139.  Went to the RealTek website and found the linux drivers for the chip set. Downloaded and unzipped to a floppy.  Went back to the Omnibook and ran "sudo cp /mnt/floppy/8139too.c /lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/drivers/"

Message back was "CP cannot create regular file '/lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/drivers/8139too.c' :read only file system"

I tried copying the file using the file manager and no luck.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
KRB

well, that is the source code for the driver not the driver itself.

you will need to compile it.

OK, did some more reading.

Reviewing the Marcel Gagne book, tried the ./configure command and received a "no such file or directory" (I had changed to the /mnt/floppy directory).  Reviewed the the readme text again and it states that you can use the included "makefile" included with the package.  Ran that and recieved numerous errors:
:MAKEFILE LINE 9: RTL_MEM_ACCESS: command not found
: " LINE 15: NEW_INCLUDE_PATH: command not found
: " LINE 21: MODCFLAGS: command not found
: " LINE 25: all:: command not found
: " LINE 27: 8139too:: command not found
: " LINE 1: CC: command not found
: " LINE 1: MODCFLAGS: command not found
: " LINE 1: NEW_INCLUDE_PATH: command not found
: " LINE 28: -I: command not found

The documentation in the README file states to "remember to SPECIFY "NEW_INCLUDE_PATH" in Makefile according to your linux environment."  Just not sure what form that should take in the command. I will keep looking for more specific instructions on compiling the source code.  This is starting to remind me of my PASCAL days back in high school but it is a whole new world.
Thanks again for the help.
KRB
