Hello,
I am trying to get my wireless network card working with Fedora core 4 (default kernel), but am encountering a few problems.
It is an ASUS WL-138G.
The device seems to be registered under the network hardware as Realtek ethernet - and when I try and activate it, it gives an error & "check cable" !!! (even though it is wireless)
I have tried using ndiswrapper 1.2, but despite what looks like a successful driver installation, when I try and enable wlan0 I get the following error : "ndis device wlan0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization"
>>lspci
02:05.0 Ethernet Controller : Realtek Semiconductor Co Ltd RTL - 8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)
>>lspci -n
02:05.0 class 0200: 10ec:8139 (rev10)
..dmesg output indicates that the ndiswrapper driver has been loaded, but no card info is shown indicating the card has registered.
Do the outputs of lspci look correct ? - ie is Fedora picking up the correct hardware ? (I have found a different pciid (11ab:1fa6) for this card on the ndwrapper wiki list so I am not sure)
Has anyone else had problems installing / using this network card ? or indeed successfully got it working ?
Am pretty new to linux, so any help greatly appreciated
many thanks
