I have been messing around with my client and maybe something got turned around, but if you have replied past this, do you mind sending the reply to me again? Basically, I am having an issue with the driver once downloaded. I did install those drivers (/configure // make). I am now actually following the instructional guide here: Here is the problem: (Quoth the guide:) Identifying Your Device You must first determine that you have a device that contains a chipset that is compatible with the acx100/111 driver and this guide. Understand that due to continuing unfortunate and ill-advised model naming by some device manufacturers, there is a lot of confusion about this issue, please verify your chipset as instructed, and do not trust the model number on your device. Chipsets internal to these devices have and will change unannounced, you must verify before continuing in order to save yourself the headache of trying to use the wrong driver with your device. Having said that, it's time to identify your device. To do that you'll need to run lspci -n with your PCI card installed and/or your CardBus card plugged in. Successful output looks similar to this: # lspci -n 00:00.0 Class 0600: 8086:7192 (rev 02) 00:02.0 Class 0607: 104c:ac16 (rev 02) 00:02.1 Class 0607: 104c:ac16 (rev 02) 00:03.0 Class 0300: 10c8:0004 (rev 01) 00:07.0 Class 0680: 8086:7110 (rev 01) 00:07.1 Class 0101: 8086:7111 (rev 01) 00:07.2 Class 0c03: 8086:7112 (rev 01) 00:07.3 Class 0680: 8086:7113 (rev 01) 05:00.0 Class 0280: 104c:8400 That listing is taken from running lspci -n on my ThinkPad 600 with my SMC 2435w CardBus card plugged in. Out of those 9 lines listed, we're only interested in that last one: 05:00.0 Class 0280: 104c:8400 because it contains one of the 3 combinations listed below at it's end: 104c:8400 (acx100 CardBus) 104c:8401 (acx100 PCI) 104c:9066 (acx111 Cardbus/PCI) ----------------------------------------------------- Heres the thing, nothing in those combinations is listed when I do lspci -n. Here is my list: Class 0600: 8086:7194 (rev 01) Class 0401: 8086:7195 Class 0300: 126f:0710 (rev a3) Class 0607: 1180:0475 (rev 80) Class 0601: 8086:7198 (rev 01) Class 0101: 8086:7199 Class 0c03: 8086:719a Class 0680: 8086:719b Class 0780: 10b7:1006 Im misunderstanding something, like, the website said that the DWL-650+ will work with this driver. Why is this not working??? Thanks for all of the help.
