Anyone have any ideas how I can get this card working under Red Hat 8. None of the included driver work and the auto detect doesn't recognize the card. ...........

Have you had any luck? I just bought one of these today and was about to try it with RH8.

Read this page, seems pretty straight forward to me. Will try it tomorrow or the day after.

 

Hope this helps.

OK i got it working just fine.

What I had to do was the following:

1. Boot PC with the card not fitted.

2. loaded modules orinoco, orinoco_cs, hermes

3. Fit card, PC should beep.

4. tail -10 /var/log/messages and write down the 2 addresses after manfid

5. create /etc/pcmcia/hermes.conf with the following in it.

device "orinoco_cs"

class "network"

module "hermes", "orinoco", "orinoco_cs"

# LinkSys WPC11

card "Instant Wireless Network PC Card"

manfid 0x0274,0x1612 #Substitute your addresses here

bind "orinoco_cs"

 

6. restart pcmcia services - /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia restart

 

Now in network settings you should be able to add new device - wireless and see the Orinoco card type available.

 

Hope this helps.
