    Question Encore ENLWI-N Driver

    I recently installed Fedora 11 64-bit on my computer and it is far away from the router so I use an Encore ENLWI-N PIC Wireless Card.

    I downloaded the linux driver and tried to compile it, but all that happened was a few pages of errors. The README file is extremely complicated and makes very little sense.

    I found these two threads on the Ubuntu forum but I don't really understand them.

    For some reason it does not let me to send links until I send 15 posts!?

    It is likely that FC11 already supports your wireless card, though it might need you to install the firmware for the card. DO NOT compile and install a driver for this device unless you know what you are doing, otherwise you will likely need to do a full reinstall of the system.

    So, please run (as root) the command "lspci" if the wireless card is an internal card, or "lsusb" if it is a USB card, and post the output here.

    Unhappy

    I would like to try that, but after installing a graphics driver my monotors turn off when the OS loads, blocking access to the desktop.

    You should still be able to get into the grub menu and set the runlevel option to the boot command.

    Also, I notice that you posted this in two forums. Please don't multi-post questions. It just confuses the issue. Since you are running Fedora, let's continue here. Close the other posting, please.

    So, do you have a liveCD or rescue CD that you can boot from? If so, then we can do this manually.

    I do not have GRUB, the computer has only Fedora installed.

    What other post are you talking about?

    If it is the one here abut graphics drivers, that needs to be solved first because it does not let me into the computer at all!

    Grub is the boot loader. When it first starts up (before loading Fedora but after displaying bios splash screen), you should see something like "press esc for menu".

    In my other thread we figured out that the ATI driver just doesn't support Fedora 11, so I again have a fresh start and need to get this this wireless working.

    I downloaded and tried to compile their linux driver and this is what happens:
