I want to run an 802.11g wireless PCMCIA card under Linux, on my wife's aging Sony Vaio PCG-F350 laptop. Luis Rodriguez let me know that this is possible if I don't mind doing a kernel compile. I just compiled the Fedora Core - provided kernel according to the instructions provided by Luis at http://ruslug.rutgers.edu/~mcgrof/802.11g/Documentation/ , and then compiling and installing the drivers provided on that site (for the Intersil 38xx chipset.) Essentially, a new pcmcia package is compiled and installed. So far -- so good! I have not popped in a wireless card yet, I will do that tomorrow. However, the the laptop boots fine with the considerable pcmcia changes. Now to find a compatible pcmcia card -- probably the Netgear WG511 or SMC2835W EZ Connect g 2.4 GHz 54 Mbps Wireless Cardbus Adapter -- and see if I can get some action when I pop the card in. If the module loads and I can set up encryption stuff, I'll head over to my Starbucks to check it out. I wonder if the card drivers will tell me when they detect available wireless networks and what the SSIDs are? -- Bob Cochran Greenbelt, Maryland, USA http://greenbeltcomputer.biz/
