Hello,

I got SMC2635W wireless card. Seems like it is using subj driver.

I got ADM8211_src_105.tar.gz and made a link linux-2.4 to /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/
I changed make file :
CC = gcc
#FLAG = -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -I/usr/src/linux-2.4/include -fom
it-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -Wno-trigraphs -fno-common -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boun
dary=2 -march=i386
FLAG = -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -I/usr/src/linux-2.4 -fomit-frame-
pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -Wno-trigraphs -fno-common -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -m
arch=i386

when i 'm running make all I can see :

[root@HomeServer ADM8211]# make
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -I/usr/src/linux-2.4 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -Wno-trigraphs -fno-common -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i386 -c adm8211.c

any ideas :< ?

please advise

forgot to add:
uname -a

UPDATE:

I guess i have to drink less. I had to install a source code in normal, not "my own" way.

compilation went without problems.

would you please please please please email me the driver for the smc2635w for linux. I know next to nothing about linux so any aditional info (such as how to install this would be great).

btw, i am attempting to install redhat 7.3 on an old laptop. This laptop, however does not have a cdrom so right now, im screwed to the wall. i do have access to computers in my network that do have cd-roms. Of course, i will have to also find a driver for the network card i have which is actually a xircom pocket ethernet adapter III. Anyway, please atleast send me the driver.

i have the smc2602w v2 which has the same adm8211 chip. only driver they have made for it is for redhat7 and redhat8. i've searched high and low for a driver with no such luck. i did find this guy who had compiled a working driver for manrake9 (http://www.houseofcraig.net/8211-2.4.19-16mdk.tar.gz) but it's not working for me. Has anyone else been able to get a card with this chip to run?

thanks in advance

Hello

I recently bought a SMC 2635w wireless pcmcia card. I had read that a lot of people have gotten this card to work under several different linux distributions. Unfortunately I have not. Im very new to linux and dont know the first thing about linking the make file to my kernel sources. Thus i cant even get the driver to compile. Help !

I use SuSE 7.1 and I run the kernel that came with the distribution.

Any help would be inmensly appreviated. Thanx for your time.

update

I guess my last post confused people.
Compilation went without problems - but damn thing is not working.....

Hey...I use the TrendNet Wlan card, and got it to work just fine under Linux 8.0 (uses ADM8211 chip also). But, I wanted a dual boot system, and Mandrake 9.1 was more accomodating in this respect. BUT VERY PAINFUL to get this Wlan working.

I found this info, and I think it is the KEY to getting this to work...I really have no idea about "makefiles" "source" etc...but maybe one of you can put this info to good use. Hope it helps.
