Tested by Cisco Aironet 350 and Red Hat 9 on 21st April 2003

Install CISCO Aironet 350 Wireless Card

Red Hat 9 still can not detect Aironet automatically by "kudzu", and "redhat-config-network" GUI tool also still can not configure Aironet 350 and buggy. So we need to use CUI and configure it right.

Edit /etc/module.conf
```
alias eth0 airo
```
Type lsmod command. If you see "airo" then the driver is there. If not you need to Insert the wireless card module
```
# insmod airo
```
Or
```
# modprobe airo
```

Configuration

Configure ESSID

# iwconfig eth0 rate auto
# iwconfig eth0 YOURSSID

Get IP address from DHCP server
```
# dhcient eth0
```
