Whenever i enable my Netgear MA401 wireless ethernet card it fails:
 
[root@localhost tokatrash]# /sbin/ifup eth1
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
    SET failed on device eth1 ; Invalid argument.
Error for wireless request "Set Frequency" (8B04) :
    SET failed on device eth1 ; Operation not supported.
Cannot get driver information: Operation not supported
[root@localhost tokatrash]#
 
Can you give me a hint on what to do for it to work properly?
 
i thought you said it was a latitude c400 ?
 
is this a PCMCIA wireless card, or a USB card, or what ?
 
was it delivered with the dell ?
 
cheers

It IS a Dell latitude C-400.
 
The wireless PCMCIA card did not come with the laptop.

Hmm...strange. I had this card, worked fine under FC1...the only cards I haven't gotten working are the D-Link ones. Look for an ORiNOCO Gold or Silver, they're great Linux-compatibles and have external antenna hookups.
 
where ya been beej ?

It's nice to be back, anyweb. Nice to know I was missed! I had just started getting back into Linux when school started...and now, I'm getting back into it with my new Compaq Armada M300.
 
See you in IRC soon!
