Netgear MA111 USB Wireless Adapter
Hi I'm using the above USB adapter on Debian Sarge on Kernel 2.6.10.
Downloaded Linux-wlan-ng driver, compiled and installed. And also apt-get install wireless-tools.
However I could not get an IP after doing a /etc/init.d/networking restart.
My /etc/wlan/wlan.conf

As you can see, I figured the station mode to be infrastructure but it appear as ad-hoc. So I tried changing it to infrastructure mode using the iwconfig tool.

Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :

Any idea?
:confused:
btw, I just realised that my ssid should be "pDa4SP" instead of "pDa4sp". But I suppose that doesn't cause the problem of the "Operation not supported" error? |
