From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.2) Gecko/20040308 Description of problem: The D-Link DWL-520 card is seen by the OS (FC3-test2) as a wired network card; FC2 has the same issue. I was told that kudz might be the problem, but it was unclear if that was truely the root cause. The network configure utility sees the card as a Prism 2.5 .... I was asked to place a bug in bugzilla so the developers would know there is an issue. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install the card 2. Let kudzu find and configure the card 3. Actual Results: Bring up redhat-config-network-gui, the wireless card will be listed as a wireed card. Expected Results: redhat-config-network-gui sees the card as wireless card to wireless configuration can be done. Additional info:
All network cards are classified as a single class in kudzu; there's not much else to be done there.
what does: # /sbin/iwconfig output?
# iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. sit0 no wireless extensions. # system-config-network-gui sees the card as a "Intersil Corporation Prism". I tested FC 2, same issue.
could you try system-config-network-1.3.21, as soon as it appears on rawhide?
Sorry it took so long to reply, I was out. After installing a fresh copy of FC3 the wireless card, D-Link DWL-520, still shows up as a wired card. If you would like I can allow you to login so you can look around.
If # iwconfig does not show any wirless extensions, you need to install the correct kernel module for this card. As it seems there is none for the "D-Link DWL-520" in FC3. A fast google search with "D-Link DWL-520 linux" resulted in: http://support.dlink.com/faq/view.asp?prod_id=357&question=General%20Wireless So get the source and compile your driver...
