HI All!

I installed the dvd iso fedora core 4 into my hard drive with pentium 4 and I would like to connect to the Internet Access with my PCMCIA Dlink DWL-610 WI-FI device receiver at my dlink di-624 router who has the modem cable connected on it.

I was able to use it on Windows XP Home.

But now I would like to use it on Fedora Core 4 Linux, how I can install and configure that please?

The trick is the "iwconfig" command

You'll want a set of commands like (assuming your wifi card is eth1)
Code:
iwconfig eth1
iwconfig eth1 essid (your network id)
iwconfig eth1 key (your wep key)
dhclient eth1
You might need to tweak the commands to your needs but this should do the trick. If you get stuck check out "man iwconfig"

OK Thank you for your help.

Now I downloaded the wireless toold and realtek driver.

I need to know where and how to see the kernel log for the vender and device id on the fedora core 4? version 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 please?

Hi,

Thank you for your help again.

I just tried to find the kern.log in my \ but I got this following message:

Warning: Hard link count is wrong for /proc: this maybe a bug in your filesystem driver. Automatically turning on find's -noleaf option. Earlier results may have failed to include directory that should have been searched...

What is the solution!
