Hello there,
On my way to make the wireless antenna get working on Beafanatix,at wlan set up, i loaded the windows driver to the ndiswrapper engine (and i think it's done properly
~$ ndiswrapper -l
Installed drivers:
rt2870 driver installed, hardware present).
new
turning on the laptop, at the lines that appear before the login window comes up, just after the " *mounting local filesystems... " and before the " *configuring network interfaces... ",the lines below appear only when i turn on my laptop with the usb antenna already plugged at the usb port.which lines are:
ndiswrapper (import:241):unknown symbol:ntoskrnl.exe:'ZwWritefile'
ndiswrapper (load_sys_files:215): couldn't prepare driver 'rt2870'
loadndisdriver :loadndisdriver :load_driver(361):couldn't load driver 'rt2870'
ndiswrapper (load_wrap:113): loadndiswrapper failed (65280); check system log for messages from 'loadndiswrapper'
ndiswrapper: probe of 1-2:1.0 failed with error -22
<--
running also lsusb gives:
lsusb

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 050d:815c Belkin Components
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
running iwconfig though gets me
~$ iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
the antenna's light is not flashing (as it does whenever it' s working)
at the wlan set up gui utility there is a set up choice called enhanced wirelles settings and by pressing ok you get an editable list that contains the lines below:
# Enhanced wireless options! Most of them should be set
# automaticly.
#
IF_WIRELESS_SENS=
#
IF_WIRELESS_MODE=managed
#
IF_WIRELESS_AP=auto

I just don't know how to edit this list and i can't find anywhere a manual or a howto or something relative
At LQ wiki i found a command called lshw that would be usefull too but terminal says
~$ lshw
bash: lshw: command not found
I also created a wlan0 in $ sudo gedit /etc/network/run/ifstate
$ sudo ifup wlan0
ifup: interface wlan0 already configured
i already deleted most of the files in /etc/ndiswrapper/rt2870
that contained the files beneath
/etc/ndiswrapper/rt2870/050D:8B5A.F.conf
/etc/ndiswrapper/rt2870/050D:815C.F.conf
/etc/ndiswrapper/rt2870/050D:8053.F.conf
/etc/ndiswrapper/rt2870/083A:7512.F.conf
/etc/ndiswrapper/rt2870/083A:7522.F.conf
/etc/ndiswrapper/rt2870/083A:B522.F.conf
/etc/ndiswrapper/rt2870/148F:2770.F.conf
/etc/ndiswrapper/rt2870/148F:2870.F.conf
/etc/ndiswrapper/rt2870/0471:200F.F.conf
/etc/ndiswrapper/rt2870/rt2870.inf
/etc/ndiswrapper/rt2870/rt2870.sys
and there are only
/etc/ndiswrapper/rt2870/050D:815C.F.conf
/etc/ndiswrapper/rt2870/rt2870.inf
/etc/ndiswrapper/rt2870/rt2870.sys
that supposely have a relation with my usb antenna,
but basically i did that only guessing.(i kept a back up file in case i need to put them again back)
I' m deffinetely lost in translation here.I' m a newbee after all.so any help would be really aprreciated.
thank you for any help!
