Hello,

After reading through the archive I still don't know what's wrong.

This is what I did sofar.
Installed redhat 7 on my sony vaio.Downloaded the cvs pcmcia-cs tarball from 5
march. Installed it for 2.4

First I tried a wireless card from compac. And this card worked right of the
box. I could ping my cisco 340 base station.

My next step was the airo 4800 card. The card was recognised and 't installed
the correct modules. Then I do the following commands for configuring the card
correctly
echo Mode: adhoc > /proc/driver/aironet/eth0/Config
echo tsunami > /proc/driver/aironet/eth0/SSID
echo NodeName: 'vaio' > /proc/driver/aironet/eth0/Config
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 up 192.168.1.2

Try to ping the base station, but no go.
This is the output of the Config file

Another problem appeared after installing the latest pcmcia-cs tarball. My cdrom
drive is not configured correctly. This is the output I get:
Mar 5 17:34:03 vaio cardmgr[247]: initializing socket 0

Mar 5 17:34:06 vaio cardmgr[247]: executing: './ide start hde'
Mar 5 17:34:07 vaio kernel: hde: bad special flag: 0x03

Hope someone can help me with these problems.

Thanks for reading sofar,

Cheers,
