A Centos 4.2 workstation install on a notebook with Gnome UI.
I have used the system-config-network UI and know a LITTLE bit about ifconfig.
==========================================================
How do I 'properly' stop a network card before removing it? Restart it after insertion?
Add drivers for:
An Orinoco Gold 11b card (the classic. I believe it has the Hermes 2 chips, probably have at least one with the Hermes 1 chips around someplace (I paid $2400 for my first AP and $900 for my first network card years ago)).
A DLINK AG660 with the Atheros chipset.
A Hawkings card (not with me here in my hotel, can't get model number) with the Broadcom chipset.
Of course I did the install on the notebook with a 'classic' 3COM 3CCFE574BT. Got a few different 3COM cards sitting around. But know I have to get wireless working and be able to switch cards.
