Thanks buddy!!! if you need anything let me know

# ndiswrapper -v
utils version: 1.8
driver version: 1.14
vermagic: 2.6.11-6mdk 686 gcc-3.4

In fact I have 2005 LE on the PC with the wireless
Can you first try with ndis version 1.8
and post the result of lsub ! so we know you have the same device version

edit mya appology my instructions may not be clear enough

5420_rel1.0.zip is the downloaded file at the time
unzip 5420_rel1.0.zip
# cd USR03232004/
# unshield x data1.cab
cannot find the right size file in there

I am sure it is (but date no kept when using unshield)

-rw-rw-r-- 1 13824 Apr 25 00:49 usb8023k.sys


so in fact I used method2 with files from method 1 then
unzip F5D7051.exe (method 1)
unshield x DATA1.CAB
unshield x DATA2.CAB
then the driver I would have used
2Kdriver/usb8023k.sys
# ls -l 2Kdriver/
total 48
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29184 May 19 23:11 RNDISMPK.sys

I tried Ndiswrapper 8 1.14.. still invalid driver after .sys's to etc/ndisrapper/wusb54gsv2/

I have harddrake open it shows up under Unknown Devices... I cant post pictures here so I will write it all out>...

See my edited instruction previous message
It should work now
You have the right device, just check under the removable plastic that it says version 2.1 as well

Sorry again, I must have had mixed up memories when I wrote the howto.
The whole point of having somebody trying to replicate really

I am off. Let us know if it works.

so in fact I used method2 with files from method 1 then
unzip F5D7051.exe (method 1)
unshield x DATA1.CAB
unshield x DATA2.CAB


Where do you get F5D7051.exe??

THe files from the US Robotic sites folder do not work correctly, You must download the files F5D7051 Drivers from http://web.belkin.com/support/downlo...k&lang=1&mode= the Windows 2K File works fine...

I Installed it on my Windows XP Partition..

Run Linux, go to devices, windows, Grab ALL the files out of the Belkin/Drivers folder, and copy them to my linux drive.

Insert linksys CD and get files from drivers folder..

Put all in same folder...

Log into root shell

# mkdir wusb54gs/
# ndiswrapper make uninstall
delete etc/ndiswrapper/wusb54gsv2 folder

# make
# make install

...diswrapper is installed

# ndiswrapper -i wusb54gs/WUSB54GSv2.inf

# ndiswrapper -l
Installed drivers:
wusb54gsv2 invalid driver!

# ls -l /etc/ndiswrapper/wusb54gsv2/
13B1:0014.F.conf wusb54gsv2.inf

# cp wusb54gs/RNDISMPK.sys /etc/ndiswrapper/wusb54gsv2/
# cp wusb54gs/usb8023k.sys /etc/ndiswrapper/wusb54gsv2/

# ndiswrapper -l
Installed drivers:
wusb54gsv2 driver install, device present!

Thats all I do... So Inside /etc/ndiswrapper/wusb54gsv2/ is RNDISMPK.sys usb8023k.sys 13B1:0014.F.conf and wusb54gsv2.inf

Sweet, That Edit worked, the .sys files from new zip worked great, Thanks Emmannuel!!

How do I get the thing to work??? I tried iwconfig wlan0 and it shows me all my stuff like essid: off/any 00:00:00:00... I'm confused about what to do now, I got the device set up it just wont work not sure what commands to get it working...

I Type iwlist scan and it says itsnot supported???

Have a look at
http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/w...ess_Networking

I suggest you edit post #21, so it contains working instructions only

ok i corrected the previous post

I'm giving up after a long night last night... After i got th e Driver installed i didnt know what modprobe ndiswrapper does or ndiswrapper -m but I did both those without iwconfiging and I think thats important to do after you config then -m??? Not sure what m does...

anyways

iwconfig wlan0 .... all zeros and off's show up. no bitrate or anything... iwlist wlan0 scan doesnt suppor toperation... iwconfig wlan0 ap XX:XX:XX:XX:XX Invalid argument???

not working...

>>i didnt know what modprobe ndiswrapper does or ndiswrapper -m
man ndiswrapper
will explain what it does
To read the wifi configuration file
less /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0

Your best chance to configure simply the network is
via the MCC (Mandy Control Center wifi connection icone.
Otherwise by editing by hand the config file
to restart the network once you modify anyhting do

service network restart

I am not a wifi expert so I do not think I can guide you
for the whole process.

In a series of posts by me, trying to resolve my issues with my LinkSys wusb54gs usb adapter I think this will be my final attempt for help so anything will do...

I followed the below steps(emmanuel_uk did same steps and his worked) to achieve where i'm at. I tail -f /var/log/syslog so you can see whats going on and try to help me

Install Steps:

plug wusb54gs
localhost kernel: usb 3-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2
mkdir wusb54gs
copy Zindows 2 sys files to ~wusb54gs
copy everything from drivers directory of linksys CD to wusb54gs

unpack and go to ndiswrapper1-8
make
make install
you will see last line

Still not getting results emmanuel_uk got.. (working usb adapter) Does anyone have any help for me?

Can anybody tell me whats happening....

Maybe I ask another question then,
when i do ndiswrapper -m that writes and alias to the m file. I'm assuming thats the linux module am i correct? How do I remove the ndiswrapper -m so I can restart?

Hey emmanual, I have one last ditch effort to get help to see whats wrong.... I followed your install instruction and came out with different results... Heres my post noone answered to maybe you can help
