[CLUE-Tech] A small wireless bulletin

[Craig Magtutu]

   thanks tim.

   i picked up an 802.11b linksys PCI card from compusa a while back, but can't
get it to work in linux. spent some time getting the linux-wlan stuff compiled
(module) and into the kernel, but still no luck associating eth1 with the
driver via the modules.conf file. anyone else have any luck with these cards?
   looks like the wlan driver works through the pcmcia bus, so now i've been
trying to get a pci-pcmcia emualtor to work.
