Title: Wireless G Success
Post by: thebaz67 on August 12, 2010, 03:33:48 pm
Not sure if anyone is looking for this but I was able to get the SparkLAN Wireless CF adapter card WCFM-100 802.11g card to work using

the file system from this thread

https://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=26510 (https://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=26510)

after installing git-core and gcc

I went to this site

http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/libertas (http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/libertas)

to get the necessary tools/drivers installed

once I completed those steps I started the interface

ifconfig eth1 up

iwconfig eth1 essid "wireless name"    (do not use the qoutes)

dhclient

then I was off and running.

Next step to get WPA working.
