Linux-wlan-ng vs. kernel/pcmcia-cs drivers...
Hello list,
I have looked around a bit and found no solid answer to my question...
What are the major differences and advantages of using the linux-wlan-ng
driver over the kernel driver or one provided with pcmcia-cs?
I just finished doing a dist upgrade to sarge and have a D-Link
DWL-650(Prism2) PCMCIA nic that I would like to get working again.
My problem beforehand was that I could only get wifi access when WEP was
disabled, as soon as I enabled it my connection would die. I tried a
kernel recompile manually(the way I used to in slackware) and using
make-kpkg kernel_image, and this seemed to break something so cardmgr
would no longer log inserts/ejects of the DWL-650 card but I did receive
the beeps that indicated the driver failed to load(high pitch beep, then a
low pitch).
My goal is to get this laptop(IBM 600E) up and running so I can use WEP
with both the DWL-650 and my Orinoco silver card.
Any help is much appreciated.
Also please send replys to me as I am not on the list.
