I did what you said and my dmesg says Loaded prism54 driver, version 1.2. And I have it loaded as a module. So that is good. However, when I do "iwconfig", I get: lo no wireless extensions eth0 no wireless extensions sit0 no wireless extensions And when I do iwconfig eth0 essid 123456 I get: SET failed on device eth0 ; Operation not supported. eth0 is my pc slot WAG511 card right? It's not sit0 right? I tried sit0 and it wouldnt even load the prism driver. Now why can't I configure eth0 with iwconfig? BTW, "cardctl info" displays the correct info.
