Jon,
The penguin is never angry, just very unforgiving. ;-)
>From the Knowledge-base at www.speedstream.com.
Example only: Configuring for Linux Orinoco Driver
§ SpeedStream Product: 1021
§ OS: Linux 2.4.18
§ Driver: PCMCIA-3.1.33+. The latest version can be found at
sourceforge.net (see link in Further Information section).
In this example the [CONFIG_PCMCIA] is not enabled in the kernel;
instead the PCMCIA-3.1.33 suite is used.
1. Confirm that the Linux kernel was compiled with option
[CONFIG_NET_WIRELESS] enabled.
2. Confirm the Wireless Tools package is installed (this is included in
Redhat Linux 7.2+).
3. Append following to the [/etc/pcmcia/config] file:
card "SpeedStream Wireless PCMCIA"
manfid 0x02ac, 0x0002
bind "orinoco_cs"
4. Make sure you let the PCMCIA package use its own network scripts
during installation.
5. Include the following information in your [/etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts]
file:
*,*,*,00:30:F1:*)
INFO="SpeedStream WLAN"
ESSID="[provide your network name here]"
MODE="Managed"
KEY="[if you use encryption, provide your key here]"
Note: If you have your AP (e.g. Siemens 2623) set up as a DHCP server,
make sure you set [ DHCP="y"] in the [/etc/pcmcia/network.opts] file.
Otherwise, provide the required parameters in the
[/etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts] file.
Note: It is helpful to have [syslog] configured with [debug logging] to
trace any problems you may encounter.
