I was able to get those packages installed (linux-wlan-ng &
linux-wlan-ng-modules-2.6.8-2-686-smp). When I insert the card the
correct prism2 driver is loaded, however it appears I am not getting any
wireless extensions. It creates the wlan0 interface, so this is farther
than i've been able to get so far.
[ root @ stewie : ~ ] : iwconfig wlan0
wlan0 no wireless extensions.
Did I miss a step?
