Description Eric Caldwell 2002-07-17 14:25:29 UTC

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.1a+)

Description of problem:
Ok, it's been a year since I tried to use RH or any other distro with my
wireless card, a Dlink DWL-520.  Dlink and Linksys are two of the most available
and widely used wireless cards on the market yet, there still is no support in
RH Limbo.  PLEASE make this work.  I know there is a quality driver out there
from visiting the ng's.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Redhat Limbo


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RH Libo Beta
2. Try to configure/install a Dlink DWL-520
	

Expected Results:  This PCI card should be supported by now

Additional info:

I will completely throw out Windwoes as soon as this support is available.

I completely agree.  I bought my Linksys Wireless PCI card (WMP11) thinking 
that it would be supported out of the box by some distribution.. since it is 
the most widely used card out there today.  I was wrong... if there is any help 
I can provide, please let me know and I will do it.  (null) is shaping up VERY 
well, but if I can't get on my network, then I can't use it...

Red Hat apologizes that these issues have not been resolved yet. We do want to
make sure that no important bugs slip through the cracks.

Red Hat Linux 7.3 and Red Hat Linux 9 are no longer supported by Red Hat, Inc.
They are maintained by the Fedora Legacy project (http://www.fedoralegacy.org/)
for security updates only. If this is a security issue, please reassign to the
'Fedora Legacy' product in bugzilla. Please note that Legacy security update
support for these products will stop on December 31st, 2006.

If this is not a security issue, please check if this issue is still present
in a current Fedora Core release. If so, please change the product and version
to match, and check the box indicating that the requested information has been
provided.

If you are currently still running Red Hat Linux 7.3 or 9, please note that
Fedora Legacy security update support for these products will stop on December
31st, 2006. You are strongly advised to upgrade to a current Fedora Core release
or Red Hat Enterprise Linux or comparable. Some information on which option may
be right for you is available at http://www.redhat.com/rhel/migrate/redhatlinux/.

Any bug still open against Red Hat Linux 7.3 or 9 at the end of 2006 will be
closed 'CANTFIX'. Again, if this bug still exists in a current release, or is a
security issue, please change the product as necessary. We thank you for your
help, and apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point.
