Wireless Debian Works!
I’m overjoyed. I’ve got my LinkSys WPC11 Ver 3 Wireless PCMCIA card working with Debian. It’s the first time I’ve gotten this card to work with any distribution. The weird thing was that the wireless card has a little green light indicating a connection when solid and none when blinking. Well, I couldn’t get it to stop blinking, even though it is one foot from the access point. What made it work, strangely, was plugging in my wired card (it then went solid). Nothing else seemed to help. I was then able to do: pump -i wlan0 and it got an IP address via DHCP. I then unplugged the wired card (because I was suspicious the wireless card wasn’t really doing the work!) and the green light stayed solid and I got the net! Whew. It shouldn’t be as hard as it was.
