Cisco aironet 350 pcmcia and FC5

spiderjerusalem · #1 20th March 2006, 06:39 PM

So my aironet 350 worked fine with fedora core 4 and Is detected by fedora core 5 and says ok in the network device config program but when I try and activate it it hangs on detremining IP address for a couple minutes and then says failed, Any ideas I really need to get this working.

have you tried deleteing the config and reconfiguring it? (in system-contfig-network that is)

I have tried that, same problem as before.

I also have a built in boradcom 802.11g in the laptop, this shows up in the network config but it still does not work, it says no link present, The broadcom did not work in fedora core 4 but I figured either wifi card i can get running will be good enough.( I would prefer the cisco but either way) thanks for helping.

have you tried the bcm43xx kernel driver that is now included with FC5? (this is for the broadcom card) it might just work!
if you could show me your modprobe.conf that would be good too.
good luck!

I have the exact same problem with wifi card. Mine worked fine in FC4 and worked the first boot of FC5. Now it does not and gives the an IP error as well. My exact error is:

Code:

Error for wireless request "Set mode" (8B06):
SET failed on device wifi0; Operation not supported

Error for wireless request "Set Frequency" (8B04):
SET failed on device wifi0; Device or resource busy

Ok, now mine is working again. For some strange reason my WEP encryption data isn't saving after a reboot. I have to manually re-enter it each time. Strange.

thats good that thats working, how do you change your WEP key? do you use system-config-network?

infraray · #9 21st March 2006, 03:10 AM

yup, under Devices > Edit > Wireless Settings

Any ideas on what actually went wrong with this?

I have an aironet card as well, and it has totally stopped working after the FC5 upgrade. It can't dhcp, and assigning it a static IP does not allow it to connect to anything either.

Hi everybody,

I have just install FC5 on my old laptop.Compaq EvoN600c.I have tried to install my pcmcia wireless card,Cisco Aironet 802.11 a/b/g,however I can not,

Does anybody know whether this card is supported under the FC5 and how can I install it.
I have tried ndiswrapper,however I can not also.
