trandnet wlan on laptop
 |
I have linux installed on my laptop. (Redhat 9). All works ok except sound and wireless lan. I'm not worried about the sound at all so that does not matter. But it is not recognizing the wireless card. Does anyone know of any linux drivers for the trendnet tew 226pc/tew-228pi wlan for the laptop? I have searched http://www.google.com/linux but no luck
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance. 
If you run the following command, what info does it return concerning the exact chipset that your NIC uses:
lspci -vv | grep Eth
(Case-sensitive; the first "l" is a lower-case "L")
lspci -vv | grep Eth
(Case-sensitive; the first "l" is a lower-case "L")

Weird- I know that the lspci command does normally work on RH 9.0. 
Try this command instead and see what you get:
less /proc/pci |grep Eth

thanks
OK- your card uses the Realtek rtl 8180 chipset. Realtek has a driver for that which is supposed to work with RH 9. A little more info and a d/l link for the driver can be found here:
