Hi,

I am running an old P II under FC6 and using Linksys WUSB54G. I managed to install the windows driver and get the adapter working but still cannot make it to the WWW, or internet. The network monitor (while set on wlan0) shows some activity in the time I,m connecting using

ifconfig wlan0 up

and when I use my lap top to manipulate the wireless router network.

I suspect that the problem rests on the fact that MAC address (or access point) shown by ifconfig and by iwconfig differ by the last four figures...I'm not quite sure this is the problem as while typing iwlist wlan0 ap it says something like no such option.

Can somebody help on this?

many thanx!

So you CAN get to the router setup page in your browser on the laptop, but you cannot get to the internet, right?

yes, my lap top runs under XP Home. The Linksys wireless adapter I,ve connected to my Pentium II desktop as it has only a modem card. So I am at a stage when I cannot obtain probably an IP address...

For those who are still struggling with this WUSB54G wireless USB adapter I might say that with me it turned good only after I installed the third driver something like rt25... then I got the confirmation on ndiswrapper -l driver installed and device present...

Anyway I'm quite disturbed by the situation. I'm able to scan for wireless cells but and I am actually connected to my router but I cannot surf as yet...

Ah - ok, the wireless card in question is in your DESKTOP computer, right? And you aren't getting an IP for the desktop from the router? What is the output from "ifconfig"?
