This document describes how to install the ARtem Onair Comcard
on a Linux system and answers some frequently asked questions.
This readme suggests that you are familar with installing
and configuring a Network on a Linux system.
Please read the Linux PCMCIA-HOWTO by David Hinds, which
is probably provided on a CD-ROM of your Linux distribution or
you can download the latest version from 
"http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/ftp/doc/PCMCIA-HOWTO.html".
This installation guide is based on the SuSE Distribution 7.2

    using the tool "yast".

-   Configure the Basic Network settings.
    Start the admin tool "yast" and configure the basic
    network settings.
    Enable the PCMCIA device support for your Network (eth0)
    and apply a IP address, Netmask and a Gateway.

-   Binding of the wireless driver
    The ARtem Onair Comcard is supported by the driver "wvlan_cs".
    Therefor you have to add a binding between the Comcard and 
    the "wvlan_cs" driver.
    Please add the following lines to "/etc/pcmcia/config" :

    ------------------------------------------------------------------
    card "ARtem Onair PC Card"
       version "ARtem", "Onair"
       bind "wvlan_cs"
    ------------------------------------------------------------------

-   Configure the parameters
    Adapt the parameters for the wvlan_cs driver in the
    file "/etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts"
    
    Example:
    -----------------------------------------------------
    # LUCENT Wavelan IEEE ( +Orinoco, RoamAbaot and Elsa)
    # Note : wvlan_cs driver only , and version 1.0.4+ 
    # for encryption support     
    *,*,*,00:60:1D:*|*,*,*,00:02:2D:*)
    INFO="ARtem Onair Comcard Settings"

    # Network SSID
    ESSID="ARtem"

    # Valid Seting are "Managed" or "Ad-Hoc"
    MODE="Managed"
    -----------------------------------------------------
  
-   Loading the driver
    The driver will be automatically loaded by inserting the Comcard.
    When the driver is loaded sucessfully two high beeps indicate,
    that the Comcard was identified and configured successfully.
    For other beep indication, please read the "PCMCIA-HOWTO".
   
-   Verifing and changing the wireless parameters
    You can verify and change the wireless parameter by using 
    the tool "iwconfig".
    For more information about the tool type "man iwconfig".

    An indication for a properly working Comcard is the LED state of
    the Comcard.
