Setting up the Lucent WaveLAN IEEE ISA/PCMCIA card in Red Hat 9
Just helped someone set one of these up. Edit /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia,
set PCIC=i82365 and PCMCIA=yes. Add a line to
/etc/modules.conf reading options i82365 extra_sockets=1.
(Setting this in /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia’s PCIC_OPTS variable
doesn’t work because of the /etc/init.d/pcmcia initscript.)
service pcmcia start and you should be in business.
You may now want to have the interface come fully up at boot. Set up
an ifcfg-ethN file for it in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
using the normal variables (maybe DEVICE=ethN, ONBOOT=yes, and
BOOTPROTO=dhcp for a minimal DHCPed device) and include some of
the variables from /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-wireless,
which documents the variables it uses at in the comments at the
beginning of the script. You may also need a line like
TYPE=Wireless in the ifcfg-ethN file.
