Wireless PCMCIA cards known to work with Mandrake 10

[darkaynjil]

Does anyone know a good WirelessG card to use with Mandrake 10? Please let me know what you use, and if it works as is, or what you had to do to make it work. I have a Linksys WPC54G wirelessG card, and it doesn't work (yes, ndiswrapper doesn't work either). Someone let me know if they found one that works, please.

Will do, thx for your replies.


Well, after learning I needed the generic RPM, I installed and configured it per instructions on Linuxants website.... It worked, but now the system hangs on boot . the system hangs when it gets to eth0 (my onboard lan) which used to timeout and fail (no connection). I can boot into failsafe mode, but don't know how to fix it without reinstalling Mandrake.

just un configure the eth0 if you dont use it

I can't un-configure it. The system does not boot. It hangs when it tries to initialize eth0 (on-board lan). I can boot into failsafe mode, but have no idea how to go about doing this from the command line in failsafe mode. Have books, will read.....
