setting up a D-link wirless card.

[mrjohndoe]

For anyone that cares, I used to run windows and recently formatted all partitions (except a fat16 system recovery partition that sets it back to out of the box.), Installed Red Hat 9, Shrike, and I have a D-Link wirless PCI card. I know VERY VERY Few commands, like cd, just the very very basics, and have just about no idea what i am doing. I am trying to install the card and connect to a 169.something.something.something network. Also, please email me anything that would be fun, I don't care what it is, server, games, programming, whatever, because I just want to mess around the, er, "Accesability" of Linux. My email is billsarena@yahoo.com. Please post any other info you may need or soulotions to my crisis.


Thank you

Hmm...
I usually don't view posts that start with HELP ME, but...
I would try using http://www.google.com/linux to search the exact model of your card.
Personally I don't have a lot of wireless experience, so hopefully that link will keep you busy until someone with personal knowledge comes along.

Might want to put up the model of the card too (DI-XXX), DLink makes lots of wireless PCI cards...
