installing linuxant wireless driverloader on mandrake 9.2
 

still trying to get my integrated wireless card to work, not having any luck.I need step by step instructions on how to install linuxants driverloader on mandrake 9.2. Can anyone help???

That reminds me of something on my list of things to do. I am going to work on it today, so if you can give some details of your problem maybe I will see something that might cause it.

First of all have you checked these.

And please give some details on what you have and what's not working. The step by step must have failed or you would be up and running using linuxants directions.

umm im having a prob too. ive read thru all them links. the card can see my access point fine. but when i try to activate it says cannot ping 192.168.1.1 so it cant get an ip. what might be causing this?

thanks

If ifconfig shows a proper ip address, then check the route and make sure there is a default.


route -n

or use this..

route add default gw 192.168.1.1

Also it would be a good idea to check /etc/resolv.conf for some nameservers

Well, I dont think I installed it right.When I do a iwconfig i get the message no wireless extensions found.I need to start over from step one.I am doing this on a dell latitude d-800 laptop dual booting w2k pro and mandrake 9.2.My wired lan works fine, just cant seem to get the wireless side working.

I did install it on my laptop, it links up and then locks up.

Not sure why, but it is rather disapointing. Their modem driver works great. I'll be working on it when I get more time. I suspect it's something to do with an irq conflict or just some bad parameter in the iwconfig setup. I can plug it in, load the driver, etc. as long as the interface is not active it's happy. As soon as I enable it she locks up the system. It kernel panics on boot if it's set to come up. Possibly the kernel is too new, and has a problem.

can anyone give me step by step instructions on unzipping and installing this driverloader???

I have the driver installed,but when i point my browser to http://127.0.0.1:18020/ I get authentication failed do you want to retry.Anyone have any suggestions

you need to put in root as the user and roots password as the password

I figured that out.completed the installation and it says all devices are configured and licensed,but it still doesnt show eth1 and i cant configure it

Did you have an old one around before the install of this one?

Try a different browser.

try this..

modprobe driverloader

then look at /var/log/messages

and this..

ps -C webconfd


If that shows nothing maybe you should try this..

dldrconfig --auto

If it shows it to be there try this..

cd /usr/lib/driverloader

for i in webconfd webconfdocs/cgi-bin/*.cgi; do; perl -c $i; done

no devices detected by driverloader

run this while watch /var/log/messages


cardctl eject
cardctl insert

still no luck
