Hello folks, I have been working on troubleshooting this for days without success. Time to post my issue in these forums. I am hopeful you can help.
I am trying to get my D-Link DWA-130 (Revision: C) USB WiFi adapter to connect to a secure network. I first tried to get the DWA-130 to work with Ubuntu 9.04 using the Linux drivers from D-Links website:
http://tinyurl.com/r6wmb6 . Here is what I got when I tried following the Linux Driver instructions (Method 1) found in the included readme.txt file.
[worked without issue]
Code:
:-$ sudo make install
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/rtl8192u_linux_2.6.0006.1031.2008/ieee80211'
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/build M= CC=gcc modules
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.28-11-generic'
CHK include/linux/version.h
CHK include/linux/utsrelease.h
SYMLINK include/asm -> include/asm-x86
make[3]: *** No rule to make target `kernel/bounds.c', needed by `kernel/bounds.s'. Stop.
make[2]: *** [prepare0] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.28-11-generic'
make[1]: *** [modules] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/rtl8192u_linux_2.6.0006.1031.2008/ieee80211'
make: *** [install] Error 2
I do have the Kernel Headers installed and using Apt-get I do have the kernel sources, although the Kernel apt-get provided where put in the /usr/src/ directory but are still compressed (linux-source-2.6.28.tar.bz2).
So after using Google and getting very little information about this, I gave up to proceeded with using ndiswrapper.
So based on this website this card should work just fine with ndiswrapper:
http://tinyurl.com/qmy7c4 . I've tried using the ndisgtk GUI tools and the good old command line to install the XP drivers found on the DLink website for this card. Both giving the same results. I am able to connect just fine to non-secure networks, but not able to connect to WEP or WPA networks. I am desperate to getting this working.
Here is some information that you will likely need to in order to help me trouble shoot this issue. Thanks BTW!
I am using: Mythbuntu 9.04, and a D-Link DWA-130 USB WiFi Adaptor.
