Question: PrismII based card, WLAN device not showing up in ifconfig 

Forum: PCMCIA Wireless Network Adapter Issues
Date: 2000, May 11
From: Patrick Neill Patrick

Hello My configuration is as follows: - Redhat 6.2 - 3.1.8 PCMCIA package - Compaq WL 200 PCI card (the drivers seems to think it is a WL100, the manfid for both cards is the same however) - PrismII drivers from www.absoval.com When the drivers have loaded, ifconfig doesn't show an additional device apart from my already installed NE2000. The output from messages shows some unresolved symbols. Does anyone have any idea what could be preventing the wlan device from showing up in ifconfig?
