AWLH5026 MIMO XR
Submitted by Anonymous on 2007-06-28 10:51:25 This product has a rating of 5 out of 5 running under Gentoo Linux Comments: Bear in mind that this method is a work in progress but should work for almost any linux version with minor modifications. 1. Have ndiswrapper, iwconfig, and dhcpcd tools available. 2. I put a static version of dhcpcd in my /root dir. 3. put your vendor supplied cd in your drive. 4. copy your cd contents to an accessible area. 5. ndiswrapper -i rt61.inf 6. ndiswrapper -l rt61 : driver installed device (1814:0401) present 7. I created a network.sh script: #/bin/bash clear echo Starting ndiswrapper... modprobe ndiswrapper echo Turning on wireless card... iwconfig wlan0 key [your wep key here] echo Setting IP Address... ifconfig wlan0 up echo Running dhcp... ./dhcpcd wlan0 echo Done echo 7. chmod 770 network.sh 8. ping [yourfavouritedomain] The key to getting this card working is getting the proper key into the card. After that, it should automatically scan for wireless networks and latch onto one that matches the encryption key. iwlist wlan0 scanning should also give you some usefull output - it will scan for wireless networks. Good luck and happy networking! codifex maximus |
