wireless connection

[pcandpc]

Hi,

I have a wireless adapter pcmica card that I am trying to
make it work in FC8.

How do I make the ndiswrapper work?

Thanks.

what kind of card is it? you might consider madwifi. do you know for sure if it's supported by either? I found madwifi much easier to work with.

Hello pcandpc

If you run the command:

/sbin/lspci -v

from the command line, it should return, among other things, useful information about your wireless card.

If you copy and paste that particular piece of information back into a post here, it will give people something to advise on.

Hello pcandpc

Not much information on your card on the forum recently, you may care to look at this thread - there's a lot of it - but it's getting on for a year out of date now so I'm not sure how much is relevant:

Otherwise it looks like you have couple of options:

Start a new thread with your cards type in the title to see if anyone else has experience with an ACX100.

Go the ndiswrapper route. If you want to do that - and be aware that although I've used ndiswrapper I've no experience with your particular card - post back here and I'll point you in the right direction.
