Wireless MA101 Driver Install Errors

metsdada · 01-02-2004, 12:40 PM

I have loaded many dists of LInux..... nothing is going well.

Now, I have loaded Suse 8.1. I have a NetGear Ma101 USB Wireless adapter that I m trying to get working - then I can access the net.

I have loaded all the extra goodies that I found on the Cds.

I have gone to the Amteldriver site and downoaded the 20021209 driver snapshot.

I have untarred it.... and have followed the steps to complile. My error history file is below. (I'm getting better - I found out how to do this!)

Pls take a look - i do not know how to fix what they are telling me.

Thanks,

Yes, It now works!

For those NEwbies like me, that need all the help they can get, this is what I did:

I loaded Mandrake 9.2

Looking the in config section off of the start menu....

The MA101 was listed, so I knew it was 'there' and had to get the machine to talk to it - a driver, I supposed, but I did not know how to make it work.

I signed in as root..... then to the terminal window

Keyed in this stuff:

iwconfig
- I got a bad command or something like that. This I find means that some additional software has to be installed! Yup, it's backwards.... for Newbies, only minimal softwre is installed...then when you have to fix something, you need the 'other' software. Newbies do not know this!

So, off to the install sofware option and then search the descriptions for iwconfig.... no good... then serached for 'wireless' - aha! I checked the boxes that seemed good, and went back tot he terminal

Keyed in:

iwconfig<cr>

lo was listed with no wireless extensions

ifconfig wlan0<cr>

iwconfig<cr>

now, I can see the wlan0 connection.... looking good.

I connect through a router MR314 Netgear via cable.... the IP of the router is 192.168.0.1 my ip is 1923.168.0.2 - see your Netgear manual for this info..

now I keyed in

iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed
iwconfig wlan0 essid 192.168.0.1
iwconfig wlan0 channel 2 (this is the channel that i set the MR314 at)

run iwconfig again.... the wlan0 connection is getting filled in with the info..

almost done....

ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.2 up
route add default gw 192.168.0.1

try your web access now.... it worked for me

*****I'm stuck now, for i do not know how to automatically get this done each time I boot up..... any help appreciated....
