Wireless Success Tutorial


Here is how I got my Generic 802.11g 54Mbps Wireless PCI Adapter AWD154 to work. Hope it helps somebody. I havent messed with wep/wpa yet due to my router allowing mac address filtering. First off get Ndiswrapper follow this http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/m...p/Installation. when you get everything good on your dmesg like it recognizes wlan0. Follow the directions to the point where you need to enable ndiswrapper in the kernel mod execution. then edit your /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf and scroll to the wlan0 and input your essid/ip/mode/dhcp save that and edit your /etc/modules.conf and add alias wlan0 ndiswrapper. If you have any questions let me know but I got it running and im by far no linux goob.
P.S. If you know a better way post it!!!

There is a link to submit tutorials, though it will still get exposure here.

yeh ndiswrapper is great been using it since early 2006.. but fwcutter is a simpler method. but both works just the same and i prefer ndiswrapper it works with a wider array of wireless cards
