Hello,
Any help with the config would be much appreciated. I have googled for ages, but no success.
The troublemakers:
Aztech WL500PC wireless PCMCIA card
Fedora Core 3, fully updated, kernel 2.6.11-1.14_FC3
Compaq Armada M300
The Problem:
[root@localhost ~]# cardctl info
PRODID_1="Agere Systems"
PRODID_2="Wireless PC Card Model 0110"
PRODID_3=""
PRODID_4=""
MANFID=0156,0003
FUNCID=6
[root@localhost ~]# cardctl ident
Socket 0:
product info: "Agere Systems", "Wireless PC Card Model 0110", "", ""
manfid: 0x0156, 0x0003
function: 6 (network)
When I run system-config-network and choose to add wireless card, it recognise it as Other Wireless Card. It doesn't however list this card in the list of available ones.
I know this Agere chipset is quite popular in the wireless cards (orinoco?), is there any way to force FC3 to use a different drivers?
I've checked the available wireless modules and it seems like both hermes and orinoco are there. The card is still not recognised.

How to make it work?
A step by step instruction would be a bless as I'm not that familiar with linux yet.
