[ltp] Cisco Aironet wireless mini pci card w/ Mandrake 10 and linux kernel 2.6.7

[Shaw Vrana]

Hello All,

I'm having some problems getting the aironet wireless mini pci card to work=
=20
with the 2.6.7 kernel in my ThinkPad T30 and would appreciate a point in th=
e=20
right direction.  The airo driver is successfully loaded at boot time but t=
he=20
wifi0 interface is unable to be brought up.

=46rom /var/log/messages directly after boot:

kron kernel: airo:  Probing for PCI adapters

(this works just fine for eth0..)

I have been unable to change the SSID by echoing a string to SSID or Config=

Any information that you could provide would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
