 |
|
Greetings all!
I'm not entirely new to Linux, but I recently killed the installation I had and ended up with a nice fresh copy, void of all the customization and general having things that worked that I was used to.
So, my problem is that my wireless card, which this computer running Gentoo had been recognizing and connecting to the Internet with a couple of weeks ago, is no longer being recognized at all by anything. I'm using ndiswrapper and have the drivers installed correctly, but even ndiswrapper claims that there's no card in the slot:

lstinds : driver installed |
I've done this before, but it was a while ago and it took a long time, and I really don't remember how I eventually got it working that time. In case it helps, here's my lspci:

Thanks in advance for your help! I'll try anything!
[EDIT]
I realized I should probably mention that the wireless card is a Linksys WPC54G version 2 |

that card, I think, is PCMCIA, so you'll need to enable all the PCMCIA goodness into the kernel. That will make the card recognisable with lspci.

I really should have known that.
Thanks a bunch; it works just fine now.....iwlist scan doesn't give me any results, but I'm pretty sure I'm not in the range of any wireless networks at the moment. The lovely light on the card is on, so I'm assuming that we're in business.
Thanks again! |
