Cisco Aironet

I got a Cisco Aironet card to replace the Broadcom that uses ndiswrapper.  Here is what happens
modprobe airo
modprobe airo_ca

then run iwconfig

eth1 (which is my wireless card) no wireless extensions

A few places suggested that it is the driver.  Anyone have any other suggestions?   Does anyone use a Cisco Aironet card?  How did you get it installed?

Re: Cisco Aironet

I have a cisco aironet wireless card, but its the Cisco AIR-CB21AG-A-K9 model and I use the madwifi driver.  It works just fine for me, so maybe take a look at and try that.  I have no experience with the driver you're talking about though.

Re: Cisco Aironet

That's the same card I have.  I will try the MADWIFI driver.  Thanks.  Any particular special thing you had to do?   What kernel did you use?

Re: Cisco Aironet

I didn't do anything special.  I believe I used the build from aur.  I also don't use the stock arch linux kernel.  I'm running 2.6.13 with the ck patchset.
