They are located after the instal somewhere in /lib/modules depending on the
version.
you shouldn't have to locate them just load the modules.  If you are not
familiar with this an interesting read would be

  Can you elaborate on the insmod steps? Like what does that mean and where
would i find the prism2_cs/p80211 files?

    I had the same issues with the PCI version of the card I ended up being
forced to download and instlal on my own making the appropriate choices.
Don't forget when you are done to insmod p80211 and insmod prism2_cs or
insmod prism2_plx as needed.

      I got them from here:
http://prism2.unixguru.raleigh.nc.us/rh80/index.html



      I believe you need a Base package, a Module package, and an Interface
package.



      Hope you have better luck than I am having

        Hi guys.



        I need some help installing my Linksys WPC11 wireless card onto my
HP zt1180 laptop.



        I have installed, via RPM, the following packages:



        kernel-wlan-ng  ---- version 0.1.15-6

        kernel-wlan-ng-modules-rh80.24 ---- version 0.1.15-6

        kernel-wlan-ng-pcmcia ---- version 0.1.15-6



        Nothing happens. There isn't even a light on the PCMCIA adapter!
Keep in mind that this adapter has worked flawlessly under Win2k and WinXP
so I am pretty sure that the adapter is not malfunctioning.



        I've run "/sbin/lsmod" but there is no pcmcia adapter nor pcmcia
service listed.



        Whenever I try to "/sbin/cardctrl/ident" the following message is
returned: "no pcmcia driver in /proc/devices"



        I think the problem is that my PCMCIA card/slot is not being
recognized. I think the drivers/software is set up correctly. I have read
lots of install info on the 'NET and they always talk of removing and
re-inserting the PCMCIA card and hearing beeps. I never hear any beeps.



        Can anyone help me?



        Thanks,



        Frank
