Linksys Wireless 802.11 Ver. 3

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.

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.
