I
have a Linksys WRT54G router and a Netgear WG311 pci card. This setup
works very well with XP Pro but I am having problems in my Fedora Core 1
kernel-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl system. I installed the kernel-madwifi-0.0.20040107-1_2.4.22_1.2174.nptl.rhfc1.i686.rpm
from the WIKI site. When the interface is up I can ping the card but not
the Router. Also I am unable to access the Router through the web
interface. I know that it will work because I got it to work once but don’t
have a clue how and don’t know what I did to loose it. Can anyone
point me in the right direction to get this up and running? hwconf
has the following listing for the wifi card: class:
