This is how I installed my D-Link DWL-G520+ wlan card on Fedora Core 5 (FC5). This card has Texas Instruments chipset and needs the acx111 driver.
- Follow the instructions found at the acx100.sourceforge.net homepage.
- Add “
alias wlan0 acx” at the botom of the file/etc/modprobe.conf - Check that “
chkconfig --list NetworkManager” says “:on” under runlevel 3 and 5
If not execute “chkconfig --level 35 NetworkManager on” and check again. - Run “
depmod -a“ - Restart the computer. (I do not think have to do this, but you’ll never know.)
- You should now be able to see your wlan card in the GUI-based Network Configuration tool found under System->Administration->Network (in KDE.. Will swich to Gnome soon).
This is what did the trick for me and I think i have remembered everything. I used kernel 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5-i686 and driver version acx-20060521. Well, no that I am onlie i should upgrade my system and do it all over again with the newest kernel ang gnome.. I’ll update this post if I find any major differences.
Good Luck!
