Hello to everybody.
I am tryiung on this forum becauseI understand that centos is based heavily on Fedora, and that maybe someone here can help. i hope I'm not out of line.
I am trying to get my wireless centos v4 up and running on my Sony vaio but!!
When I ry to activate eth1 the wireless card I get some error message(s).
First let me say that the card appears to be recognised properly and is obviously visible in the network configuration window.
The usual proviso that it is ok in winXP.
The card is a 3com card.
on trying to activate it the following occurs.
An error window appears with following in it.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Error for wireless request "Set Bit Rate" (8B20) :
SET failed on device eth1 ; Input/output error.
Determining IP information for eth1...SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
If I cancel and try again I get the following
Error for wireless request "Set Bit Rate" (8B20) :
SET failed on device eth1 ; Input/output error.
Determining IP information for eth1...dhclient(24954) is already running - exiting.
failed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On checking the PCI info I get
06:00.0 Network Controller 3com (then the details of the ard, which are correct)
FLAGS bus master,medium devsel,latency 80 irq9
Memory at 21000000(32 bit non prefetchable) {size = 8K}
Capabilities {dc} Power Management version1.
At no time do I see any activity on the card LED's.
Can anyone start me in the ight direction here.
Linear Mode
