Hello Everyone,
I am trying to get a PCI/PCMCIA D-Link DWL 650 (rev J3) card to work on
both my Fedora C3 desktop (PIII, 700MHz, 512M) and my Thinkpad X20. Both
machines recognise the card/ chipset (Intersil Prism II) but after
configuring the wlan connection (as an adhoc network), I can't activate
the wlan network on the desktop. What is more, the error message flashes
past so quickly that I can only make out it is allegedly not getting the
MAC number its expecting. (As you probably can tell, I'm a noob)
I have looked through the fora and have not found anything on this card
and I would greatly appreciate any advice.
I used to have one of those. Does iwconfig show the card? If so,
then the problem has to do with the /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts file.
There's no entry that matches the D-Link's MAC address.
You can bypass that by using the iwconfig commands directly or by
using system-config-network to set them up.
