Re: re : redhat linux 5.1 help
First what kernel version are you running
resulte of command
# uname -a
does the command dmessg return information (extracts about wifi attached here would help).
If you are running a kernel less then 2.6.24 then we probably need to walk to the whole process if it is above it should already be in your kernel.
Is the command iwconfig returning any useful information ?
Do not hold your breath I do not say I can help you be for sure but if you are willing to feed the beast (this forum) I am sure some of use will be able to assist you, and we may learn something in return.
Enjoy life.

Re: re : redhat linux 5.1 help
Probably the ease path is to upgrade the kernel to that version, if this is available to your distribution.
If I do the following on my Fedora 10 Laptop
grep -i "iwlagn" /boot/config 2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.i686
CONFIG_IWLAGN=m
CONFIG_IWLAGN_SPECTRUM_MEASUREMENT=y
CONFIG_IWLAGN_LEDS=y
I can see the module is compiled into the kernel I use.
If I do the following
find / -name "*iwlagn*"
/lib/modules/2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.i686/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwlagn.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.27.15-170.2.24.fc10.i686/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwlagn.ko
I see two versions of iwlagn modules for my version of kernel, try find this from your /lib/modules/
have a look in your /boot/config-2.6.18-53* to see if this is present... If and you can not upgrade then try getting hold of the source code for this module and your kernel then compiled it in your version of kernel.
I read your attachment and I see no trace of any wifi hardware recognition... It does return an eth1 error, but I suppose this is from a left-over set up that you tried.
Please try and assign points to every individual reply, so we can measure, evaluate our replies to you, this is also good for motivations thanks.
enjoy, life.
