Hi all,

I have a PCMCIA wireless card, a Linksys WPC11 v3 card.

After modifying the /etc/pcmcia/hermes.conf file I have been able to see the 
interface come up in ifconfig, and it appears to be allocated the IP I want.

With iwconfig I can set the ESSID correctly too.

However I just cant get the interface to work.  I have my wireless AP running 
via openbsd (which works fine, I have a windows machine accessing it without a 
problem, and my laptop used to be openbsd and could access it fine too).
I have tried using tcpdump to sniff the interface, and I dont seem to be 
getting any packets at all.

The one odd thing, is that when I run iwconfig I get an error about it being 
compile with Wireless Extensions version 16 and the driver being compiled using 
Wireless Extensions version 15.  This may well be the problem.  Am I correct in 
assuming the "Wireless Extensions" are part of the kernel ? or am I way off 
track ?

Im using 2.4.22 as my kernel (Ive tried using 2.6 and the APM support seems to 
hang my laptop now and then).

Any advice ?

Cheers
Dave
