Hi,
Is anybody using a wireless ethernet PCI card which works with an
"out-of-the-box" Red Hat EL4 system? That is to say, a card which will
work without having to install anything beyond what's already included in
the EL4 original distro (plus any updates from up2date i.e. kernel
2.6.9-42.0.3.EL).
Thanks for any help!
Wireless support is very limited with the RHEL4 kernels your best bet are
any wireless devices which uses the ipw2100 or ipw220, orinoco or prism54
kernel modules, You may need to download firmware files or follow General's
advice and use ndiswrapper.
For the general;
Blacklist the broken bcm43xx kernel module and ndiswrapper will again work.
/etc/modpobe.d/blacklist
Add;
# wireless drivers
Thanks I wasn't aware of the blacklist file.
