The object: to get my WPC11 Linksys Wireless PCMCIA
card to work under linux.
So as to shorten this message, consult the
Mini-HowTO <>, which is what I used to try to get the card working.
I downloaded the most recent kernel (2.4.19) and the pcmcia-cs source and the
wlan-ng package and recompiled with wireless support (just as the HOWTO
says). Now (after running "lilo -v"), after rebooting to use the new
kernel, my machine enters lilo and then, before booting linux at all, goes into
an endless rebooting loop. When I have my LinuxOLD kernel on the menu, I'm
still able to boot with that. I even tried controlling it by simply
recompiling my kernel as anyone would do and then rebooting - to no
avail.
I think that possibly my debian installation does
not accept the kernel (because of incompatable software pkgs??) or that I made a
mistake in compiling (in all of the 4 times i tried).
Anyone had either similar problems or
success?
(Sorry for the poorly written email - I was in
a hurry.)
