dwl-650+ on Mandrake 10.0 community
I am running Mandrake 10.0 Community on a HP Pavilion ze4230 and I'm trying to use the notorious dwl-650+ with the acx100 chipset.
I managed to compile the driver, when I insert the card, the computer automatically detected the card. I used the wizard to allocate the acx100_pci driver to the card. This is the information I get from Harddrake:
=========================================
Vendor: ?Texas Instruments
Bus: ?PCI
Bus identification: ?104c:8400:1186:3b00
Location on the bus: ?2:0:0
Description: ?USR2210 22Mbps Wireless PC Card
Module: ?acx100_pci
Media class: ?NETWORK_OTHER
==========================================
However, If I type the following wireless commands in the terminal, this is what I get:
=========================================
[root@pavilion /]# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
sit0 no wireless extensions.
[root@pavilion /]#iwpriv
lo no private ioctls.
eth0 no private ioctls.
sit0 no private ioctls.
[root@pavilion /]# iwconfig wlan0
wlan0 No such device
[root@pavilion /]# iwpriv wlan0
wlan0 no private ioctls.
=========================================
Does anyone have any idea what I did wrong? Please help. All help will be appreciated.
One other thing, I can not run the scripts. I get the error "command not found"
Is there a special way of executing these scripts besides just typing the filename while logged in as root?

Have you tried the Prism 54 Drivers? I also have Mandrake 10 Official on my ECS Green 732 Laptop. I originally used the Prism 54 and compiled. But, I was having problems with it the compile and I wanted to get my wireless up fast. So I ended up using Linuxant Drive Loader. I used the Prism 54 Drivers and this thing works awesome. I do not have the cutouts that some other people are complaining out. However, I have to look into my speeds. I thing I am only running 11MB as opposed to the 54MB on the G side.
