Hi,
I am trying to install wireless network card D-link DWL-G510 and my machine has RedHat 9. After research on the web, i learned that there exist the same wireless card with two different chipsets(Atheros, Marvell). So, to find the appropriate driver, i tougth i should first find the chipset of my card. In terminal i did lspci:
01:100.0 Ethernet controller: unknown device 168c:001a(rev 01)
Is there other ways, i can find out the chipset of my wireless card?
Without success, I was trying just activate the card. From System Tools->Network config->Activate:
Cannot activate network device eth0
tulip device does not seem to be present.
Is this because there is not driver? .. the ligth on the network card is on and flashing(slowly)
Then, i just followed an post http://www.linuxquestions.
to install a driver for atheros wireless card while i am not sure if the card has actually atheros chipset. I did not know what else I could do. So, i went to http://madwifi.otaku42.de/
Makefile.inc: 125: ***kernelconf:/usr/src/lin
When i check .config file in usr/src/linux2.4.20-8/ directory i find .configs instead of .config. Does that mean my kernel version is not appropriate? where do i find what kind of kernel version i do have?
Would you please help me install this wireless card? ...thank you,
margots

The lack of a .config file in the kernel source tree simply means that it is clean (or reasonably so). The fix may be as simple as copying the appropriate config file that matches your running kernel from /usr/src/linux2.4.20-8/con
