Pcmcia Wireless Card Will Not Power On

#1 (**permalink**) 23-Nov-2004, 11:03

I have an Airlink 802.11G PCMCIA card that SuSE seems to detect, but will not power on. It is detected as an abocom wireless card, but the lights will not come on on the card. This seems to affect my netwrok connection in that I don't have one. Please help.

Thanks,
Ryan

That was one of the problems I had with my 3Com wireless G card. The solution was to download & Install the Prism54 firmware/drivers from YOU. You'll need to know the chipset your card uses; it might be listed in YAST or follow this link to supported hardware.
