LAN-Express drivers?

[Max_22]

I have bought a ze5000 laptop with built in wireless lan. Apparentely it is Lan-Express. Who is the manufacturer? Is there a linux driver available somewhere? Is there one in any GNU\Linux distro?

Has anyone had any luck getting it work under linux???

It is supported via the orinoco driver. The trick is the chipset is connected via the pci bus.

Add this line to your /etc/rc.d/rc.local file:

modprobe orinoco_pci

reboot and you should be able to configure your wireless connection via the network configuration tool in your linux distribution.

I have tested this only with Red Hat 8.

I'm struggling with the installation of ReadHat8.0 on my new pavillion ze5000 notebook. During install, it initializes PCMCIA when it gets to media check it hangs.

I tried put idebus=66 to get through the install, this does not work on RH 8. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please tell us how you did?

As for your machine hanging when loading RH 8.0. I plugged in a PCI Mouse & I was able to go beyond that hang point.

Good Luck!
