What kind of fiddling > did you have to do? When I installed FC2, the detection didn't work correctly, and I got incorrect modules for the onboard Ether as well as the Mini-PCI wireless. I don't have a recipe for solving it, but I ended up deleting both interfaces, putting aliases in /etc/modprobe.conf for both interfaces (airo_cs for the wireless), and running kudzu and system-config-network a few times to get the right combination of devices and drivers. I may even have edited /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX by hand to get the HWADDR fields correct. > > I've tried the following firmware versions: > > $ ls > total 792 > 132 45c42530.img* 132 45c52017.img* 132 45c54010.img* > 132 45c50220.img* 132 45c53017.img* 132 45c54100.img* > > and none of them work with the later kernel. Sorry, don't know much about the PC-card firmware. The PC-card and MiniPCI models must have a difference. This is looking like a bug introduced in the later kernels. > > --sdk > > > > -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs AT clemson DOT edu http://www.math.clemson.edu/~mjs
