orinoco gold wireless - c_lisp - 2004-08-16
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.

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

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.
