I have fedora core 2, but when I try to setup my wireless network setup I don't see anything that has orinoco on it. I see orinoco drives in fedora though. I was wonder if anybody can tell me how to set it up? I have my gold card is model 8460-03.

Does the card even get recognized, i.e. does it show up in 'iwconfig' (no, I don't mean 'ifconfig' )? You may also check 'dmesg' and the logfile '/var/log/messages' for any information.

I don't have iwconfig command in my terminal. Its not detecting it.

Install the wireless-tools then.

I can't get it installed. make gives me a error when I try to cp files that they say to sometimes theres not folder for the cp

Dude, just run "yum install wireless-tools" ...

z0ny

says I have it install but I still can't do iwconfig

You have to be root to run 'iwconfig' - and remember to use 'su -' (with dash) instead of only 'su' when you su to root!

z0ny

it says no wireless extensisions

Then you have to get a driver module in order to get things working. Look on the site of your hardware vendor. Also check www.linux-wlan.org.

It won't make install :/ it always fails I tried ./Configure too but it failed

Unfortunately I cannot read your mind yet. Sorry but I cannot help you with the amount of information you give.

How did you get www.linux-wlan.org installed on fedora? I get errors.

Im not sure about your orinoco card, but the drivers my orinoco card uses are orinoco-cs, orinoco, and hermes - along with the pcmcia-cs package. All you have to do is modprobe orinoco, orinoco-cs, and hermes. Then walah, iwconfig should show your wireless extensions. Then just dhclient or ifconfig your interface and you should have connectivity.

If you do need wlan for you card, apt-cache search wlan, you can just apt them so you dont have to worry about compiling errors.

I did apt-cache search wlan. I didn't get sucessful or anyting it just went back to the command prompt does this mean im good?
