Fedora wireless USRobotics

cherokee10 · 01-28-2005, 05:58 PM

Hello everyone,

I am installing my wireless network card, but when the list of Networks card appears my USRobotics is not there. Does any one have install this card?. I still able to exchange this card to the store and get a different brand name.

I've been reading a lot of issues with linux and wireless...

I got a Linksys Router WRT54GS.

Thanks in advance,

Carlos Gonzalez

Hi,

US Robotics makes a large number of devices, which one do you have? It would be good to know the exact model of your card, as well as the output of this command: "lspci -n" and/or this command: "lspci" (no quotes) typed as root in a terminal/shell/console window. This should identify the card as Linux sees it and help to point the way to a driver for it.

Im a SUSE linux user and my US Robo card works fine with the driverloader for linuxant.com

I tried Fedora c3 and i had similier problems, but it actually picked up my card in the PCI list of cards. I managed to install the driverloader fine but the drivers would never work under fedora, if i tried harder may have worked but i just gave up in the end. Try going to the linuxant site

Thank you very much for your help.

Since I am very short in time, will remove USRobotics NIC and plug my ethernet card(wired) to a WET54G Linksys bridge, this will do without configuration in Fedora c3.

Thanks again!.

Hi everyone,

I did install my Linksys WET54G brigde, I had no problems at all, it did connect right away to my wireless network.

You can also use ndiswrapper - this will let you use your windows driver under linux. It's working for a lot of other linux users. http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net

I have a similar problem. Im using a siemans speedstream ss1201. I have downloaded ndis wrapper but apparently I shouldn't use the driver on my cd, instead using those provided by linuxant. My wireless card doesn't appear on their list however. Can anyone with ndis wrapper experience give me some advice?
