Hi,
I have a D-Link DWL-610 PCMCIA card that I would like to use to connect to my university's wlan.
Problem: I am a noob and have no idea where to start.
Have I searched the forums? Oh yeah. I got a lot of hits for guides, but I didn't know which to follow.
What I have done:
I have support for PCMCIA in the kernel (2.6.3)
I have emerged pcmcia-cs
cp /etc/init.d/net.eth0 /etc/init.d/net.eth1
(I already have one 100MB/s nic called eth0.)
My plan is to use dhcp for the wireless card, but I don't know what to do...
Any pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
toffe |

I tried to follow the guide, but I don't get very far.
Step 0. I alreay have the latest version of wireless-tools.
Step 1.
lspci doesn't output anything like this
| Code: | | Network Controller: Broudcom Corporation BCM94304 802.11g (rev 02) |
This is the closest one:
| Code: | 0000:01:0b.0 CardBus bridge: Toshiba America Info Systems ToPIC95 PCI to Cardbus Bridge with ZV Support (rev 33)
|
OK, so I checked my kernel settings.
I have a "dot" in the square for Bus Options/PCMCIA/Card bus support.
Device Drivers / Networking support / Wireless LAN Drivers is not checked.
Should it be? |

I decided that it should be.
Now I can't recompile the kernel...
| Code: | SPLIT include/linux/autoconf.h -> include/config/*
make[1]: `arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s' is up to date.
CHK include/linux/compile.h
CC init/version.o
LD init/built-in.o
CC arch/i386/kernel/process.o
arch/i386/kernel/process.c:499: error: conflicting types for '__switch_to'
include/asm/system.h:13: error: previous declaration of '__switch_to' was here
arch/i386/kernel/process.c:499: error: conflicting types for '__switch_to'
include/asm/system.h:13: error: previous declaration of '__switch_to' was here
make[1]: *** [arch/i386/kernel/process.o] Error 1
make: *** [arch/i386/kernel] Error 2 |
Should I just go and die or something? |

| I don't think that the card you are quoting is the right one. Your card is probably just not detected at all. The result of lspci should clearly state that it's a network device. Seems to be a PCMCIA rather than a network configuration problem. Unfortunately I don't own a laptop and I don't know anything about PCMCIA stuff... |

Hello.
I use ndiswrapper and the latest windblows driver. And it works for me.
I builded the PCMCIA as modules and it works.... after more then two houers 
so give it a good spank and I think you will get it to run.
