I have the correct modules modconf'd, the cardinfo shows the card is there. The wireless utilities are installed and working, I have configured "wlan0" in /etc/network/interfaces, but with only the standard address and mask information. I realize this is likely the source of some problems, but there is no documentation about what the right information is to put there.
I checked the generic Linux-wireless site suggested by Linksys, and it instructed to download and build tools. I found that Debian has many (if not all) of those tools and kernel modules already packaged and ready to go. The kernel modules for Prism2 load fine, and cardinfo shows the card is alive and well. The file which the generic Linux-wireless site says to customise with the 802.11 unique configuration options has been commented by the Debian developer that it should not be used, all options should be set in the interfaces file. However, no information is given in the wireless HowTo about the obvious Debian specific issues. Aparently, the Debian packages are not everything needed, because of the following error: # ifup wlan0 modprobe: Can't locate module p80211 Failed to load p80211.o. run-parts: /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/linux-wlan-ng_pre-up exited with return code 1 SIOCSIFADDR: No such device wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device I would love it if someone who has this working could let me know where all the 802.11 information goes, and what they had to do to get past this module dependency, etc etc etc. This is certainly one of those times when the package maintainers are making it more difficult by making changes without documentation....
