If you have a distribution of Linux that uses linuxconf, such as Red Hat, use this utility to assign the 
driver to the PCI client adapter.

If your distribution does not use linuxconf, manually edit one startup file to insert insmod airo.o to 
load the driver.

Follow the recommendations of your distribution regarding which startup file to modify and 
where to insert the command.

Configure your client adapter. See the Cisco Aironet Wireless LAN Client Adapters Installation and 
Configuration Guide for Linux.

Option 3 is the most advanced installation method because it requires a complete kernel rebuild and 
installation.

You must use the kernel source in order to properly execute this procedure.

If you are not using a Red Hat 7.1 or higher system, but your distribution enables PCMCIA support in 
the kernel by default, you need to disable it by following the instructions in this section.

To select option 3, type 3 and press Enter.

Continue to select Exit and press Enter until the following message appears: 

“Do you wish to save your new kernel configuration?”

Select Yes and press Enter.
