Re: Getting wifi to work on my vaio with Debian
Last night I returned the ConnectGear card (I think it was a we320, it
used the realtek rtl 1080 chipset) and bought an ambicom wl100-pc/pci
card. It was $90, but it was the only other card at Central that
claimed to work with Linux. There were a couple others that might
have.
I plugged it in and /var/log/messages said that it wanted to be eth1
so I copied my line for dhcp on eth0 and changed it to eth1 and the
thing worked. Someone near Central even has an open wifi system so I
was able to log on there. Unfortunately their firewall blocks ssh. Oh
well.
I still want to get my old Lucent PC24E-H-FC card working. It only has
64 bits of encryption so It won't work at the office, but with luck,
it'll work at home. I don't know how to tell off hand if it's pcmcia
or cardbus. If it's the former, it should work in my old Gatway
Liberty laptop.

listen to. Oldies stations that play the "new" music I used to complain about.
