Cisco Aironet

usedtire · 2005-10-07 02:39:27

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?

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.

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?

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.

i have aironet 350
modprobe

 yenta_socket , pcmcia_core , airo , & airo_cs

#eth0="dhcp"
eth1="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo !eth0 eth1)
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng !hotplug pcmcia network netfs crond )

but since the upgrades that came out the other day
it doesnt work at boot up i have to unplug then plugin card
run as root

ifconfig -a
dhcpcd eth1    or i could use 
dhcpcd wifi0

from what ive read so far its a udev prob havent been able to figure it out yet
so im plugging away at that
