Hi:
I'm trying to get my Laptop to work with eCS 2.0 rc7.
Since my Laptop is an older model I'm using a PCMCIA
plug-in card.  A D-Link DWA 645.  The chipset is suppose
to an Atheros but I haven't been able to establish it
as a fact.
I did download two s/w packages from Netlabs that are
for the Atheros chipset but I have not been able to
install them. The problem may be due to one of the files being
saddled with the DOS name regulation 8:3.  I have
renamed it correctly as it is on the Internet, but
one of the eCS 2.0 rc7 widgets keeps showing the
DOS file name.
Like:    GENMAC220_ATHEROS.WPI
        GENMAC~1.WPI
Where it's getting this data from I don't know.
WarpIN, which came with eCS 2.0, gives me an error
message saying that:
"GenMac could not find any network interface card in
the system!"
Can anybody tell me what the problem is?
Am I doing something wrong or left something out that
needs to be included?

You need to install Veit's cbenable driver to get GenMAC to see the card and turn it on. Please see my other post of 2/3 @ 8:25pm EST. Without cbenable, there's no "glue" to bind the card slots to the PCI bus (insofar as GenMAC is concerned), so it doesn't see the card.

Also, in that same message, I asked you to provide the PCI ID string of the card, so that we could be certain of the chipset. If you need assistance with this step of the process, please advise.

You should probably review http://article.gmane.org/gmane.org.netlabs.genmac.user/1187 , et seq.
