Driver installation for Linux
Follow the steps below to install the Wireless LAN card drivers
(wlan-ng v0.1.6) for Linux.
Before Installing the Linux Drivers
Before you install the Linux wlan-ng v0.1.6 drivers, you need the
PCMCIA module source code. If you do not have the source code,
you can get it from the following URL:
ftp://hyper.stanford.edu/pub/pcmcia
After you have rebuilt and installed the PCMCIA module, edit
/etc/pcmcia/network.opts to enable DHCP. In the DHCP setup,
you can leave the fields empty. If there is no DHCP server on
your network, you might have to disable DHCP to use a static IP
and then fill the fields in /etc/pcmcia/network.opts.
In Linux there is an 802.11b Access Point with which the station
can be associated.
