Network Card SMC2635W (ADM8211 Chipset) Setup

[Ian Wallace]

I've searched the archives and tried numerous things however I don't
seem to be able to get my wireless card to work with Fedora Core 1.

I've downloaded the driver source from ADMtek and compiled it using the
kernel sources for the kernel I'm running (2188.nptl).  That works ok,
and when I pop in the card I can see in /var/log/messages that it
recognizes the card, and loads the 8211 driver.

Beyond that though ... nothing.  The power / activity light comes on, it
tries to associated itself with eth0 however never receives an IP from
the access point.

I've tried the wireless howto's and am a i bit confused if this should
be showing up as wlan0 or eth0, or eth1.  Would someone be so kind as to
point me the correct direction for information on how to configure
this?  Or where else things might be going wrong?

TIA
