Netgear MA401 fails.

[tokatrash]

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?

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.

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!
