Hi
i have been messing around with my RoBoard booted up in DOS , and i have theminiPCI WLAN card installed and i downloaded Ethernet packet drivers for DOS from
http://www.dmp.com.tw/tech/vortex86dx/

i've enabled active console , and hooked up a null modem cable so i can control the Roboard through my desktop machine and Hyper Terminal , and i am trying to get the WiFi card to be recognized by my laptop , but i am not having much success

my laptop is 802.11b and i was thinking that it should at least see that the Roboard card is present when the Roboard is powered up with the WLAN card installed

any help or links would be great , thanks

:D


EDIT:
OK , i am seeing that the driver i was using was for the r6040pd that is mounted on the Roboard and not the miniPCI WLAN card , oops :oops: my bad

i would still be interested if there are DOS drivers for the miniPCI WLAN card , if anyone knows how to get it up and running in DOS , it would be much appreciated , any help with this would be great , thanks again :D
