Wireless NIC

[cciustn]

I am running Redhat 7.3 and am trying to add a Linksys WMP11 NIC which is wireless. I am fairly new to Linux and need some instructions on adding support for this new card. I know that will need to compile the new support in but have been having a hard time finding complete instructions for this procedure. My copy of 7.3 redhat does not have NEAT included and when booting the system I can see the card in the IRQ's but it will not load of course.

Thanks in advance.

I have absolutely no experience with wireless networking.

You can always try these LNO forum 'searches for wmp11' (http://linuxnewbie.org/forum/search.php?s=&action=showresults&searchid=175985&sortby=lastpost&sortorder=descending) to see if there is anything that can help at least until another member perhaps can offer assistance.

I haven't used that card either, but returns from this Google search (http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Linksys+WMP11%22+linux+driver&hl=en&lr=lang_en&ie=UTF-8&output=search) might be of help.

I've used the WMP11 with both the linux-wlan-ng and hostap drivers, and haven't had any problems.
