I have this Sitecom WL-120 and i have been for last weeks trying to make it work, and i need help! I am using Fedora Core 3. I think the problem is exacly the card... does any of you have one working?! how can i get some driver's for it? I'v tryed ndiswrapper to install the drivers from windows but no luck i still can make it work...

Encryption key=off
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0

Just to let you know, your card has a Texas Instrument chip. The only Linux driver that I know will work with a TI chip is the acx100, but I don't know if it will work for your card. You can get more information here:

Mine is working!!!

yes, u buy it on office stamples, i bougth 2 as well, mine is working in fedora core 3. i have a portable packard bell, and put my sitecom wl-120, working, with some effort. after seeing how i do it, it's to easy, damn easy... i think i use the ndiswrapper 0.10.!!!

problems that i had:

1º i didn't have the kernel source
2º Gcc libraries
3ºrigth driver to use

well it's like this
download a version of ndiswrapper, i sugest that u use 0.10 or above, install, make sure that u have no error installing.
'after installing install only the driver and close with ndiswrapper -m ( don't use mod eprob or trie to install any ssdi or channel)
after doing that go to the network configuration, configure your lan card (SSid, Channel,wepkey, attencion, if u are using a router use in mode managed!!!!)
now bring up the card and u see that the green ligth is on , and the orange is blinking!!!! if u see that congratulations u got it!!!!

since u are from portugal and i'm to, my msnmessenger email is betat3st3r@hotmail.com, just add me and could help u!!!
more that this i can't do !!!! good luck!!!!!
