I have this Linksys WPC11 wireless pcmcia card (Prism2) that I use with my laptop under F8. It used to work fine in previous Fedora versions (circa FC4), but not in F8. When I insert it, it doesn't make any sound. The power light is on and steady, and the link line is on but blinking. /sbin/pccardctl ident does find it and so does lspcmcia. I have alias wlan0 orinoco_cs in /etc/modprobe.conf, and lsmod shows orinoco_cs orinoco hermes hostap_cs /sbin/ifconfig -a does report sit0, wifi0-00 and wlan0 besides eth0 and lo. However, when I try to configure and bring the card up from within system-config-network it fails trying to determine the IP information. I know this card should work with the wlan-ng drivers too, but yum list | grep -i wlan returned nothing. I noticed also there is no other pcmcia package besides pcmciautils. Could someone please shed some light here? Specifically 1) How is pcmcia being handled in F8? Is it somehow via udev? 2) Is there a linux-wlan-ng rpm for F8? 3) How do I diagnose the problem, step by step. Where should I look and what should I see when I insert the card? It seems to me that the system recognizes the card (both pcmcia and the network) but it can't talk to the router. 4) What does it mean that the card does not beep when I insert it? All the info I found on the web about this refers to earlier versions of Fedora and pcmcia (which I believe it has been replaced with something else in F8 of before). Thanks.
