wlan0: no wireless extensions
Hi!
I downloaded Knoppix 3.7 because I have Netgear MA111 card witch uses prism2_usb, etc.. modules. The problem is when I connect the device, in dmesg output, I get that new usb device is attached, but it doesn't say witch device it is, etc.. But when I plug it in, I can see the wlan0 device in ifconfig, but when I do, iwconfig wlan0, I got: Code:
wlan0: no wireless extensions |
Knoppix 3.7 is very old, so it is possible that the stock kernels didn't have wireless support enabled. Is there some reason you didn't try a newer version?

Thanks! Yeah, because I heard that Knoppix 3.7 has prism2_usb module, that I needed for my card

I think that prism2_usb is a part of wlan-ng. However wlan-ng doesn't support WPA as far as I know.
Also, wlan-ng doesn't use the same linux interface that wireless-tools depends on so it may not show up in a iwconfig list even if it is working. Instead look for "linux-wlan-ng-tools". Please read the text file at ftp://ftp.linux-wlan.org/pub/linux-wlan-ng/README excerpt: Quote:
