    HELP ME! Linux D-Link wireless network

    Ok heres the deal I have a D-Link Wireless network that works FINE with windows works absoloutly great with windows but with linux I dont know how to get it to work. Ive setup a wireless network under the tab and in KDE ive set up everything so it searches for the ip addy plus another .100 and below. I have a D-Link DWL-520 Network card in the comptuer with linux and I have Red Hat Linux 7.2 Thanks!

    I found an article in a newsgroup. This person has Red Hat 7.2 and that card working. Here's the newsgroup article

    Article

    I'm assuming that's your problem. That article will tell you where to go to get drivers and how to install.

    Hope this helps some....

    Was that found by just looking through a particular newsgroup or a web search such as Google? Thanks.

    It was deja.com. I think that is google groups now. I always start there then go to google for linux.

    I thought so. I remember like it was yesterday when I suggested to someone that they search Google for a DLink wireless network problem.

    And now someone is ranting and raving in the Rant Forum just beause of this very same question.

    If you get it configured and working, perhaps you could help that other member with his/hers. Thanks.
