I would like to thank brooks for the advice, I had just purchased a
Linksys WDT11(PCI adapter with the big old PLX chip on it) and
WPC11 Wireless NIC and following his advice below added this line
to the pci_ids array
{0x16ab, 0x1102, "Linksys WDT11 PCI IEEE 802.11b"},
right before the
{0 ,0 "NULL"}
line which was around line 215, i am running 4.5RC2 installed this
morning, recompiled to kernel and issued wicontrol -p 3 on both my
laptop and workstation assigned some ip's an viola, of course I had to
hammer the link with bing and let it run for about 5 minutes and got a
little better than 4Mps throughput, anyways, point is it works , and
thanks again Brooks.
