Hi all,
I am having problems with a new
installation of debian woody (3.0), when it starts up it detects both my pcmcia
wireless and wired network card and loads the required modules, no probs
there.
the problem is that it seems the wireless card is detected as if
its a wired interface, using ifconfig i can bring it up assign IP addresses
etc.... but running iwconfig it tells me there are no wireless extensions, so i
cannot set the wireless options, also editing /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts doesnt
seem to work.
any ideas? i know the card works because i used it
before both in red-hat (9) and suse linux (9.0/9.1) without problems, so
this is debian related.
saying that this is my first go at using debian
and i have noticed some differences compared to other distros, is there any
special way of setting up wireless cards?
thanks
