Hi All, I have an IBM T41 laptop that has a built in Aironet Wireless adapter. I have loaded FC2 final from scratch and am having some difficulties in getting it going. Here are some messages from /var/log/messages: Jun 2 20:18:01 i99tvxnb kernel: airo: Probing for PCI adapters Jun 2 20:18:01 i99tvxnb kernel: airo: Firmware version 5.20.17 is not supported.

Of course, the wireless functions ok under THAT other operating syste, so I know my network infrastructure is ok. The wireless light does blink on the laptop so I guess something is happening - I did have RHEL 3 ES loaded on the laptop for a short while, but that distro refused to even recognise the wireless adapter - at least FC2 knows it's ther ..... :) - anyone have ideas or point me in the right direction ? BTW, on another unrelated problem, FC2 Final refuses to see my PCMCIA slots - the yenta module is loaded and pcmcia services start - but insertion of a pcmcia card doesnt get the normal 2 beeps that one excpects - nothing happens at all - no messages in syslog either - another bug ?? Thanks in advance, Peter Z.
