I have this computer and a Smc2602w v.3 wireless card (with an Am1771 chipset) that I can't get working under Debian. I know the card functions under Linux because I originally installed RH9 on the computer and got the card nicely working. I had no mentionable problems with it.
Now on Debian Sarge I manage to compile the driver without errors, load it and even configure it to connect to a network but when I try to get an IP using dhcp the whole computer freezes. For more information on what I and others have already tried have a look at the linuxquestions.org thread at the links below. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&threadid=161972&highlight=am1771 or the tiny link at http://tinylink.com/?LkAXnTSl93 I've ran out of ideas now and am really interested on knowing what is causing this. There has to be some distribution specific thing that is giving me problems and that can be fixed/ changed. Maybe the Debian packaged kernels are missing some option that is present in the RH9 default kernel? If somebody knows to what is causing me problems or yet give advice on how to get the card working I'd appreciate it. I'd really prefer running Debian rather than RH. Thanks in advance. -niko -- -- Nikolaj Cankar phone nmbr.: +358 (0)40 73 000 71 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
