I am having a lot of problems setting up the integrated wireless
LAN on my toshiba satellite 5205-S703. Firstly the vendor name
of this card is not published.

I am running Redhat 7.3 with the latest updated kernel from redhat.
It does not detect the integrated card. And I also cannot add it
using redhat-config-network.

Please help. I also tried recompiling kernel from source, tried
a lot of options as to what to set as a loadable module etc to no avail.

Thanks

In my kernel tree (2.4.18) I have pcmcia core set as module (m) and everything
below it compiled in (y). I'm using yenta_socket for the pcic in my
/etc/defaults/pcmcia file. My /etc/pcmcia/config file contains:

card "Intersil PRISM2 11 Mbps Wireless Adapter"
manfid 0x0156, 0x0002
bind "orinoco_cs"

I have the pcmcia_cs package installed and since I'm using the modules from my
kernel tree only the pcmcia_cs utilities are used (not the modules that come
with it).

This should allow Linux to see the card. If you're using an older set of
kernel sources like I am you'll notice you get a lot of messages like this:

Null event in orinoco_cs interrupt!

This can be solved by downloading an updated set of orinoco modules from the
official kernel maintainer's website
(http://ozlabs.org/people/dgibson/dldwd/). I'm using 0.13a and it works
beautifully.
