I am trying to use the Senao Card NL02511CD plus ext2 with fedora core 5. I see that the hostap drivers are already installed. However when I instert the card my laptop does not see it. What do I need to do to get this card working using Fedora Core 5?

Are you inserting the card before or after you boot the system?

Can you post the exact make and model of the laptop?

Also, pleae confirm that this is a cardbus adapter that you are using? This is an unusual card and I can't find much on it. Prism chipset?

I am inserting the card after it boots up.

It is a Dell D810 laptop.

The chipset is Prism 2.5. This link pretty much has the specs on the card I am trying to use. http://www.seattlewireless.net/index.cgi/SenaoCard

Thanks for your help.

OK, as long as you are sure it is a prism 2 based chip.

There apparently are a few models/revisions of this card.

See the link that I found from yours on the subject here. Note section 4 on identifying the chipset by the FCC ID number.

Try inserting the card before you boot up. I have no idea if hotplugging this catd works.

What methods have you tried to get it working, or how do you know that it is not detected?
