<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Guys,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I just bought a shiney new PCMCIA Wireless card for
my laptop (An old Compaq Presario 1685 with a busted LCD) The theory is that Im
going to use it as a Firewall/DSL router since I cant get wires from the phone
point to my study (dont ask!)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have installed the linux-wlan drivers for PCI
cards many times, and have run throught the same process with this machine
making the respective changes (PCI to PCMCIA for example)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>HOWEVER! When I try to ifup wlan0 I get
this:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>gre0: unknown hardware address 778</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: no such
device</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>gre0: unknown hardware address 778</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Bind socket to interface: No such
device</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>exiting.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A friend of mine told me that one of hist laptops
couldnt run wireless cards beause the interupts were out of the CPUs range...
He's currently out the country so I cant ask him if this is the error he was
getting...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My PCMCIA socket is working because I am currently
running a Dlink PCMCIA Nic in it to connect to the rest of my
network.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does anyone have any ideas?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>All comments will be appreciated.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Regards,</FONT></DIV>
