    Dlink 650+ Wireless card working with acx100sta driver..

    Well I finally got my Dlink 650+ working on RedHat 8 with 2.4.18-14 kernel..

    You can get the driver at:
    http://www.ivor.it/wireless/acx.html

    You will need to install wirelesstools before you do anything with the above driver, from:
    http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_...nux/Tools.html
    ....1. tar -xvzf wireless_tools.25.tar.gz
    .....2. cd to wirelesstools directory
    .....3. make
    .....4. copy the executables to /sbin/
    ..................cp iwevent iwgetid iwspy iwpriv iwconfig iwlist /sbin/

    Now install the acx driver module,
    ....1. tar -xvzf acx100_bin_20030608.tgz
    ....2. As root
    ............./sbin/insmod yourpath/Acx100Drv/2.4.18-14/acx100sta-2.4.18-14.o
    ....3. Add the following to /etc/modules.conf
    ............alias eth1 acx100sta


    Create the file: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
    Heres what i use which seems to work:
    DEVICE=eth1
    BOOTPROTO=none
    IPADDR=192.168.1.101
    NETMASK=255.255.255.0
    GATEWAY=192.168.1.1
    ONBOOT=yes
    WIRELESS=yes
    ESSID=youressidhere
    MODE=2
    CHANNEL=4
    KEY=s:yourasciikeyhere


    Note the "s:" b/4 your ascii key... This threw me off for a while..

    Now you should be able to activate eth1 with the gnome network tool..
