Ok, well mine is in Taiwan. I did what you said and my dmesg says
Loaded prism54 driver, version 1.2. And I have it loaded as a module.
So that is good. However, when I do "iwconfig", I get:
lo no wireless extensions
eth0 no wireless extensions
sit0 no wireless extensions
And when I do iwconfig eth0 essid 123456 I get:
SET failed on device eth0 ; Operation not supported.
eth0 is my pc slot WAG511 card right? It's not sit0 right? I tried
sit0 and it wouldnt even load the prism driver. Now why can't I
configure eth0 with iwconfig?
BTW, "cardctl info" displays the correct info.
