Red Hat 8, T30 and Cisco Aironet

[NameMySonTux]

Hi all,

I am trying to get this combo to work. Redhat 8.0, Thinkpad T30 and Cisco Aironet 350 PCMCIA card.

When system boots up or the card is inserted into the PCMCIA slot, here is all I got is a bunch of messages in the syslog and the card wouldn't come up. I am using pcmcia-cs-3.1.31.

Any clue?

Thanks in advance.

Interesting you say this. I also have the exact same problem on my system using RedHat 9.0 on the Cisco 350 PCMCIA Wireless Card.

Personally, I feel thats its the problem with the builtin drivers and that you shouuld be using the Cisco drivers. Though, personally, they aren't working for me, prolly cause I am building something wrong. (Thats what I get for being a Newbie)
