I am installing a CNWL-311 wireless NIC card in a linux machine running Redhat 7.3 The Linux setup instructions provided on the install CD don't seem to work very well. I unzip the driver file to the rt2400_linux dir using gtar with no problem. When I run 'make config' using the default directories the configuration fails. I am wondering if there is a newer version of the install available or possibly you can correct the procedure I am using.

Thanks in advance,

Ken

As I recall, the last time a Linux device driver issue was looked into here, the answer was to upgrade to a newer version of Linux.

Red Hat is at version 9.
It is the last "free" version from Red Hat.

I agree with Answer 1. There seemed to be some issues with the the wireless capabilities of RH 7.3. I've played around with wireless on 9.0 and it worked fine.
