| Revision 2.2.4 | 2004-06-03 | Revised by: gea |
| Cleaning up this HOW-TO. I have since moved on and
offer this document for adoption or at least consider it
obsolete at this time. Also my (ex) girl friend never did
write the documentation to how she got the card working with
Suse. Sorry. |
| Revision 2.2.3 | 2003-07-31 | Revised by: gea |
| WPC11 CARD DRIVERS HAVE CHANGED. Thanks to Bill
Atkins for providing information and solution |
| Revision 2.2.2 | 2003-07-05 | Revised by: gea |
| Most likely last update for this manual. The new
2.5 (to be 2.6) kernel appears to work fine with respect to
wireless cards and hence you can build wireless support
directly into the kernel and not have to go 'outside' it like this. |
| Revision 2.2 | 2003-04-07 | Revised by: gea |
| Made a few typo corrections. Publish it on Freshmeat |
| Revision 2.0.2 | 2003-02-24 | Revised by: gea |
| Thanks to Justin Stockton for helping me eliminate a confusing bit of reading. |
| Revision 2.0 | 2003-01-15 | Revised by: gea |
| I have decided to generalize this document to other distributions then just Debian. The redhat section is due to the generous contribution of Tony Perrie of Involution (.DOT.) com. I also recently got a fast connection again and was able to update kernel and patches info. I also tried out the new wlan-ng module |
| Revision 1.2 | 2003-01-11 | Revised by: gea |
| Made clear where to get most up-to-date documents |
| Revision 1.1.4 | 2002-12-22 | Revised by: gea |
| I forgot what i did here |
| Revision 1.1.3 | 2002-06-09 | Revised by: gea |
| Made clear what version on linux-wlan I actually used. |
| Revision 1.1.2 | 2002-05-26 | Revised by: gea |
| In part 2 of the HOWTO, the last item says make-kpkg --revision-custom.1.0 kernel_image when later on you used the correct one make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image . Where there is an equal sign before the word custom and not a dash. This has been corrected. thanks to Raj Prakash, raj@rajeshprakash.com |
| Revision 1.1.1 | 2002-04-27 | Revised by: gea |
| some more grammar improvements, and highlighting to make things clearer |
| Revision 1.1 | 2002-04-13 | Revised by: gea |
| Correct grammar, made things a little more clearer, made software requirements more explicit. |
| Revision 1.0 | 2002-03-24 | Revised by: gea |
| Written because I spent enough figuring this out that I wanted to store "how I did it" somewhere I wouldn't lose it and figure you all might like it too. |
| Revision 1.1.4 | 2002-8-10 | Revised by: gea |
| I attempted to follow my own instruction on re-installing on the same laptop and found my how-to a little lacking. Have made things a bit clearer on what I am using. Also made a table to two |
This is a Cookbook on how to set up a Wireless Link-Sys WPC11 card using a Link-SYS Wireless Access Point/DSL/Switch on a Debian system. Other systems are addressed.
