wireless problem but getting closer i think
I have mandrake 10.0
I have a netgear wireless router mr810v2
I have a wireless card on my desktop dwl 520e
I have follow some advice in some forums but still can't get it going.
downloaded kernel source
downloaded firmware
made a directory /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware
renamed file 1.0.4.3.arm to isl3890 in firmware directory
downloaded driver into my user directory
typed "make clean modules"
typed "depmod -a"
I type ifconfig and get it receiving and tr packets from loopback I think
127.0.0.1 So, I think my drivers and firmware are ok? Is that true.
Found out with Mandrake I had to download wireless tools. I did that
Type iwconfig eth1 cssid xxxxxxx
got invailid cssid
Now I think I'm at the point where I have to load my cssid name to a file so I can connect to my router...
How is the easiest way to get this done. I'm a Linux newbie.....
I talked to Noooooo earlier and he pointed me in the right direction on the drivers. BTW THANKS AGAIN NOOOOOOOO
The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once............Buckaroo Banzai

Just gave it up...
Since I couldn't get my wireless connection going I have just removed Mandrake from my system. Just taking up valuable disk space.
I might try it later when I have more time or the have better support for it.
I did think I could get it going this time.............
