Hi, I need help to set up D-Link DWL-G510 wireless G Desktop Adapter on my Fedora 7 box. I have installed madwifi through Yum. system-config-network detects RaLink RT2561/RT61 re card. When I activate the card I get this message: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory Determining IP information for wlan0...SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory failed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ How can I get this work? Any help is appreciated. I have pasted the iifconfig and dmesg information below.
