At Mon, 1 Oct 2001 it looks like Anuranjan composed:
anu->Hi,
anu->I need to install the WLAN card (either a Cisco Aironet 350, or a Lucent
anu->WaveLAN) and I think the drivers are "an" and "wi" resp. How can I install
anu->these cards and the respective drivers? My kernel seems to be configured for
anu->it as I can see entries for both uncommented in my /usr/src/i386/conf/NEWKER
anu->file.
anu-> Can you point me to a detailed HOWTO for this (all steps needed for
anu->recognizing and installing the card/driver)?
anu->Appreciate the help
anu->
Now I've been told there are some errors in this "BUT" it works fine
for me. It's for my home network and my access point (network) was
configured to be "corten1", I believe you can just comment out the
line that has my network name.
Once again, it works every time I use it with my Orinoco Gold card.
Save this file as anyname you want, chmod 755 <filename> and run
this as root.
