I am trying to get the pci wireless on my ibm thinkpad T30 running the
RH7.3.
Now, iwconfig wlan0 shows wireless extension. However,
when simply typing iwconfig will not list wlan0:
iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0:1 no wireless extensions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[root at apple root]# iwconfig wlan0
wlan0 IEEE 802.11-b ESSID:"test"
Mode:Master Frequency:2.422GHz Access Point:
Bit Rate:11Mb/s Tx-Power:-10 dBm Sensitivity=1/3
Retry min limit:8 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:112 Missed beacon:0

the only way i was able to get the hostap_pci on the network configuration
tool was when i added "alias eth1 hostap_pci" in /etc/module.conf
changing eth1 by wlan0 did not help.
It looks like i need to recompile the kernel? (never did that thus i am
hesitant to do so)
