Having problems configuring wireless internet

ksoma · 10-04-2003, 04:35 PM

I'm using RH 9.0 and tried using the redhat-config-network-druid tool to add a wireless device, but it only had the options for wireless cards, and I have a wireless USB device(D-Link DWL-120+)...I found a .tar.gz for it on sourceforge.net....I wasn't exactly sure what to do..I'm assuming the README file is gonna be pretty straightforward though. I'm about to try that right now ....if anyone has any suggestions...please let me know. Thanks.

I tried that driver before without success, but I also found this driver. It looks like your Adapter uses the Atmel chipset (http://www.linux-wlan.org/docs/wlan_adapters.html). I haven't got the same adapter, but I have a usb adapter with the same chipset, so you should be able to follow the same instructions as I did.

You can download a driver from http://atmelwlandriver.sourceforge.net/news.html and I used the howto under usb.

Hope this helps
