Hi,

I bought a wireless PCI NIC from Level one, model type WNC-0200.
(see
http://www.level1-netsolutions.de/produkte/katalog/index.cfm?rubrik=Wireless
&menu=produkte&CFID=227613&CFTOKEN=64120145)

On their website (see above), it claims to be linux kernel 2.4.x compatible,
but i inserted in my machine
(rh 8.0 ) and it is not recognized automatically.
if i do 'lspci' it shows up as 'Texas Instruments', but that's all.

here's the info from lspci:

00:09.0 Network controller: Texas Instruments: Unknown device 8400
        Subsystem: Unknown device 16ab:8501
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 9
        I/O ports at cc00 [size=32]
        Memory at ea012000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
        Memory at ea000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
        Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2


I sent them an email asking for help but so far no reply.
does anyone have more information about getting this card to work under
linux ?
The card was only recently released on the market.

these are the specs:

  a.. Fully compatible with IEEE 802.11b standard for wireless LAN
  b.. Interoperatable with existing IEEE 802.11b standard devices.
  c.. Datarates up to 22Mbps
  d.. RF Ouput Power 18 dBm
  e.. Coverage up to 150m outdoor and 30m indoor
  f.. Supports new data modulation PBCC technology from Text Instrument,
which allows high data with double speed of right up to 22Mbps.
  g.. 20% more transmitting and receiving coverage supported by PBCC
modulation.
  h.. Supports auto data rate fallback under noisy environment or longer
distance (22/11/5,5/1Mbps).
  i.. Supports Win98/ME/2000/XP, Linux Kernel 2.4.x

thanks,
