[Wylug-help] rtl8185 wireless card

[Don Magee]

Hi

Thanks for the response. I used the network settings GUI that comes with 
fedora 9. Theres an Activate button that should do the association and 
the dhcp. But I've tried from the command line as well:

ifup wlan0

should do it.

When I try to associate the card,  iwconfig tells me the AP mac address, 
ssid etc. So it seems to think that the association worked. But if you 
look at the access point it isn't associated.

I also have a prism chipset card and that works fine.
