Install CISCO Aironet 350 Wireless Card

Support

Tested by Cisco Aironet 350 and Red Hat 9 on 21st April 2003

Red Hat 9 still can not detect Aironet automatically by "kudzu", and "redhat-config-network" GUI tool also still can not configure Aironet 350 and buggy. So we need to use CUI and configure it right.
  1. Edit /etc/module.conf

    alias eth0 airo
  2. Type lsmod command. If you see "airo" then the driver is there. If not you need to Insert the wireless card module

    # insmod airo
    Or

    # modprobe airo

Configuration

  1. Configure ESSID

    # iwconfig eth0 rate auto
    # iwconfig eth0 YOURSSID
  2. Get IP address from DHCP server

    # dhcient eth0
  3. Edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

    USERCTL=no
    PEERDNS=yes
    GATEWAY=
    TYPE=Wireless
    DEVICE=eth0
    HWADDR=00:07:50:ca:5c:58
    BOOTPROTO=dhcp
    NETMASK=
    ONBOOT=yes
    DHCP_HOSTNAME=
    IPADDR=
    NAME=
    DOMAIN=
    ESSID=YOURSSID
    CHANNEL=1
    MODE=Managed
    KEY=
    RATE=auto
  4. Restart network

    # /etc/init.d/network restart
