Hi, Just brought the Dlink MA311 - trying to get it working on Mandrake 9.0 - any ideas?
Installed wireless-tools - iwconfig complains 'on' and 'any' operations not supported. Can't compile wlan-ng (of course - nothing ever frigging compiles on Mandrake - its a damn nightmare) Card shows up in hardware list as Prism 2.5 based card - nothing can see it beyond that (as far as I can tell) - networking wizard does not help at all. Need to get encryption working too if possible - or is that hardware based?
