Description Flags
incoherency between hardware list tool and network configure tool none

Description Florent B 2003-09-26 14:12:38 UTC 
Description of problem: 
I have a Zonet Zew1000W Wifi network card with a 8081 chip. 
There are drivers for Linux for it ( 
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloads1-3.aspx?Keyword=8180 ). 
This driver isn't in RedHat (licence pb ?). 
But if I add the driver on my system, Redhat-config-network don't handle it. 
 
I think that add "8081 based card" in the wireless network drivers list with a 
messagebox (you can download the driver at... location) if the driver isn't present on the 
system could be a solution. 
 
Thanks to add it, hardware support is important. 
 
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 
 
 
How reproducible: 
Always 
 
Steps to Reproduce: 
1. have a 8081 based PCMCIA wifi card 
2. install the driver ( 
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloads1-3.aspx?Keyword=8180 ) 
3. launch RedHat-config-network

incoherency between hardware list tool and network configure tool

on hardware list tool, I have 2 networks cards, what's true.
On network config tool, only one :(

Eth1 is the PCMCIA wifi card (based on a 8180 chip)
