Hey am looking for the drivers for the dwl-g122 usb wireless adapter. I've looked all over and had no luck. Could somebody help me please!

Its a brand spanking new USB 2.0 802.11g device isn't it? Bloody heck... its not in the uberlist: http://www.linux-wlan.org/docs/wlan_adapters.html.gz

So it looks like we're off to the FCC, what's its FCC-ID?

You can plug that into:

www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid

And hopefully pull up the chipset name... that's the first step, probably a bit mucky from there, but its a start.

And in the meantime, you can always take a longshot that the ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net driver will work.

Cheers,

I've gotten a lot of hits so far but nobody seems to have drivers for this NIC(USB). I would like to pose a challenge to all those who read this.

Lets make this a race to see who can make this usb card work first. ( I know everyone likes competition!)

any idea idea is welcomed becasue I'm at a loss for ways to set this up.

Also have DWL G122 802.11g USB adapter
some troubles... could not find native drivers for linux.
NDISWRAPPER reboot computer
linuxant.com DRIVERLOADER work fine for me but it not free ($15 )
Can anybody help?

Pazak, can you go into more detail on how you got your G122 working? Iconn and I tried using DRIVERLOADER but it dosent seem to detect the card. When using ndis Wrapper, it detects the card, and I can scan networks using iwlist scan but I cant seem to connect DHCP with the routers... Anyone know what to do? As well, After using ndis wrapper, when restarting the computer and kudzu boots up, it freezes the checking for new hardware when the modem is plugged in...

HELP!

2DashX:
my details: Slackware 10.0 2.4.26 kernel w/o SMP support
probably you use new kernel 2.6.x and not apply linuxant.com patch from download section?

Installed windows XP driver:
Driver Vendor Version
prisma02 D-Link 03/11/2004, 1.00.13.0

Disable Kudzu... sometimes more harm then good. If you ever actually have new hardware you can always run it by hand. Or you could page through /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages and hope that kudzu logged whatever it was trying to load that caused the hang. Then if its a certain module you can add it to /etc/hotplugging/blacklist and not have to see that again.

If iwlist works... then there might be a chance NDISwrapper will work. First let's assume that broadcast announcements with this thing don't work so dhcp is out, it happens...

ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.23 up (or whatever is your network, make certain to bring the device up first. Some devices won't take settings until the device is up'd.)
iwconfig wlan0 mode managed
iwconfig wlan0 essid nameofnetwork
iwconfig wlan0 enc 0123456789 (or whatever your key is... if you're using WEP)
iwconfig wlan0 (and see if there's an access point its associated with)
route add default gw 192.168.0.1 (i.e. whatever the IP of your wireless router is)
ping 192.168.0.1 (just to see if you can ping the router, if so you should be able to ping google.com... [if you have nameservers listed in /etc/resolv.conf])

If something breaks along that list, post back and we'll see if its workable-aroundable, although I doubt it.

Cheers,

Finegan

... maybe there you can find more (depends on the revision, i think it should be for rev. B) ... .cj

I currently have a DWL-122 working on linux, it's the wireless-b version, I tried all the prism2 chipset drivers that 'supposedly' work with it to no avail. I ended up just using ndiswrapper, works like a charm with the newest winxp driver available from dlink. Dunno if this will help or not.
2.6 kernel
mandrake 10
ndiswrapper-0.11

linux_terror

In the actual linux-user (german linux-gazette) its mentioned that drivers are in construction, but not available yet for public. They said, possibly until christmas.

*I* will buy me one and just wait.

Hi Folks

I've got one of these **** dwl-g122 usb thingies as well ...
I'm running Suse 9.2

I have got ndiswrapper installed, and purporting to know it's there ... but
it doesn't feel too good ...

ndiswrapper -l gives:
Installed ndis drivers:
netrtusb driver present, hardware present

... but it doesn't seem to work. No lights flashing on the thing ...

iwconfig wlan0 gives me:
wlan0 IEEE 802.11FH ESSIDff/any Nickname:"home"
Channel:0 Access Point: FC:3E:41:CE:00:C0 Bit Rate=0 kb/s
Tx-Power:-2147483648 dBm
RTS thr=0 B Fragment thr=0 B
Encryption keyff
Power Managementff
Link Quality:100/100 Signal level:141/154 Noise level:0/154
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0

and iwconfig seems not to be able to change any of these things. The access point is meanwhile up and responding to requests from other wireless clients ...

If I start without the thing connected, connecting it seems to hang the usb bus ... neither lsusb nor usbview return to the command prompt.

Any of this sound familiar? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
dribble

I've got the exact same problem with the exact same usbstick as you dribble. Have you got that working yet? No lights flashing here either.

Yes, I got it working.
I needed to turn off ehci (I think, anyway, the high speed usb protocol), and use ndiswrapper version 0.11. I found a bulletin board somewhere with the netrtusb stuff, and found a bunch of useful links.

I meant to document this all properly ... and didn't ... I'll go back to it, and let you know in a couple of days.

Thanks! I'll be back from my holiday in a week. Hope I get it to work by the time I come home

Hi all there,

A lot of time may have past but no drivers for dwlg122 yet.

I always tried to make everything that works for another os, work under linux. And you know what, all those manufacturers who get paid for their products are getting lazy or trying to make US work. xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


Best thing :- I am going to buy only those hardwares which provide support to linux.(Not emphasizing on the hardware that gets supported from linux)

Then when they will start loosing They will have to support
