 |
|
I need help configuring my wireless driver.
It installed without errors, but I can't see my AP.
I'm stumped, please help.
Here is the relevant section from dmesg:
ndiswrapper version 1.14 loaded (preempt=yes,smp=yes)
ndiswrapper: driver prisma02 (D-Link,03/11/2004, 1.00.13.0) loaded
wlan0: vendor: 'D-Link AirPlus G DWL-G122 Wireless USB Adapter'
wlan0: ndiswrapper ethernet device 00:0f:3d:fa:1c:20 using driver prisma02, 2001:3703.F.conf
wlan0: encryption modes supported: WEP; TKIP with WPA; AES/CCMP with WPA
usbcore: registered new driver ndiswrapper
Then I try to configure the driver:
root@0[dlink]# iwlist slan0 scanning
Warning: Driver for device wlan0 recommend version 18 of Wireless Extension, but has been compiled with version 17, therefore some driver features may not be available...
wlan0 No scan results
root@0[dlink]# iwconfig wlan0 essid kats
root@0[dlink]# iwlist slan0 scanning
Warning: Driver for device wlan0 recommend version 18 of Wireless Extension, but has been compiled with version 17, therefore some driver features may not be available...
wlan0 No scan results
root@0[dlink]# |

You could try booting without loading ndiswrapper and then typing the following command in a terminal window.
Substitute the location of your driver, your ssid and WEP code in the command below (leave out the WEP code if you are not using this), all on one line:
/usr/local/bin/ndiswrapper.sh /mnt/sda2/drivers/ndiswrapper/bcmwl5a.inf wlan0 ssid 1A:2B:3C:4D:5E:6F:7A:8B:9C:1D:2E:3F:4A 2>&1 >/dev/null |

This isn't working either.
It's almost like the radio in my wireless adapter isn't turned on. I don't see the little green LED flashing like it does when I use it on my windows laptop.
Am I supposed to do something to explicitly turn on the wireless adapter's radio? |

| As long as your wireless adapter is enabled in BIOS and the hardware switch is on, I believe it should work. |
