 | | | Linux driver for the W200 (wireless "embedded " nic) on Compaq N800c? | Linux driver for the W200 (wireless "embedded " nic) on Compaq N800c? 2003-07-13 - By Hudson, Chadd

I 've seen some messages around the net about how this wireless nic is
not supported in Linux. I 've also seen where some people claim they 've
got them to work but their links to the How-tos they used are dead.
Does anyone know where I can find a how-to or hints to get this to work?
It 's great to have this nic on the lid of my notebook and not have a
pccard sticking out but it would be even better to have it work under
Linux.
If it matters I 'm running Red Hat 9 w/ stock kernel, W200 embedded
wireless nic on a Compaq N800c.
Thanks for any help or directions to help,
