Linksys G wireless card, MDK10
ok, MDK10 Official, Kernel 2.6, KDE:
So, I have a linksys G wireless card and no idea how to get it working. On bootup the computer recognizes the card and asks for drivers from a built in list but I don't know if any of those are correct. So then, knowing nothing else, I used tried using ndiswrapper. I got as far as installing the .inf file and ndiswrapper -l returns: drivername present which I believe indicates that there is a device present that could make use of the drivers. I continue with the installation but when I check it at the appropriate point (sorry I'm at work and forget the commands) the output is: winl no device present eth0 no device present eth1 no device present when it should be returning a device for one of them. Anyone have any ideas for this? Is there another, better way to go? all help is much appreciated. |
The solution here is easy I do beleive. Now that it says it s present go to a console and type:
modprobe ndiswrapper ifconfig wlan0 up iwconfig wlan0 essid any dhcpcd wlan0& dhcpcd wlan0 Thats it! |
right, but I think the respose to modprobe ndiswrapper is:
wlan not present eth0 not present eth1 not present alll the same for the moment I will try what you said and see what happens **EDIT** also, can anyone explain what each line (of the previous poster) means lol? I'm a newb |
see http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/ you need to install a proprietary firmware
