Issues with Linksys wireless LAN card
by Nikhil D. Kikkeri 03 Apr '03

03 Apr '03

Hi all-- I run Mandrake 9.0 on my laptop.I have a linksys WPC 11 wireless (802.11b) card which i would like to make use of while working on Linux. I got the driver from Linksys and configured it such that I use pcmcia_cs instead of kernel PCMCIA code.the driver was compiled and successfully installed. i opened the wlan-ng.opts file to insert the SSID of the network which in my case is (SMU1911).The campus network uses DHCP. However modifing the file and restarting pcmcia did not help. I know for sure the device is installed because cardctl ident shows the device name correctly.Also when I try to connect from the Mandrake Control center I can see that although bytes are being received, no bytes are being sent. Is there anything that i failed to tweak.what else do i need to have a look at and modify?

Again: Needed Help on Apache Configuration ASAP

Hi Aswin, If you are getting the page from your m/c that means apache is running. Check your IPCHAINS setting. I think you must have blocked other user to connect to your webserver. --Prashant
