Hi,
Has anyone had any problems getting any prism54 based wifi card to work with FC5? I have a WG511 based on prism54 that I have been using since FC2. Pre-FC5, the device showed up as eth1 or eth0. On FC5, it showed up as "dev9772" in iwconfig output:
[kedar@localhost ~]$ /sbin/iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth1 no wireless extensions.
dev9772 IEEE 802.11b/g ESSID:"myessid"
Mode:Managed Frequency:
2.462 GHz Access Point: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
Bit Rate:24 Mb/s Sensitivity=20/200
Retry min limit:8 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Link Quality=4/0 Signal level=-81 dBm Noise level=-132 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
sit0 no wireless extensions.
The device actually works. I had to configure it by hand with iwconfig and ifconfig. I am using it on an AMD64 laptop with WEP.
Any idea why the device id is so weird "dev9772" ??
Also when I try to use the "System->Administration->Network" tool to configure the prism54 card, it showed me two devices: the prism54 and the built in ethernet. What is odd is that the ethernet (VIA-rhine) showed up in the menu as wireless and the prism54 as "ethernet". It won't allow me to configure essid/WEP on the prism54. But would let me config these on the via-rhine.
Any ideas?
Regards/Kedar.
