ar5005ux Slackware 14.1


Hi all I'm having a problem I just can't seem to solve . I have a device with an ar5005ux chip set that I can't get to work in Slackware its Dev id is 0411:00B0 by buffalo inc. The name of the device is buffalo wli-u2-ag108hp. Looked it up can't get it to work or find the Linux driver tried ndiswrapper but it didn't work. Linux doesn't even load any modules for it. Can anyone help me?

Edit: Its actually an ar5523a chip( just looked under the hood). I thought the driver for the device is in the mainline kernel?

I've tried numerous drivers for ndiswrapper that people say they have installed successfully, but none work for me.

The vendor: product ID of 0411:00B0 for your Buffalo WLI-U2-AG108HP is different to those listed here. https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Buffalo_WLI-U2-AG108HP
The device is most likely to be supported by the ar5523 kernel module, but there are no aliases for the Buffalo vendor ID when I look at the output of 'modinfo ar5523'.
Any support would also likely require an appropriate firmware. https://wiki.debian.org/ar5523

So, it appears the device lacks support. Probably easiest to get a supported device.
