Hello everyone.
Slackware user :D
I have been sucessful at getting the madwifi drivers working with the DLINK cards however I ran into some problems getting a linksys WMP11 card working.
Well here is the deal. I downloaded the ndiswrapper and it compiled and installed with no errors. NICE:D
So the first thing that I did was mount the Linksys Driver CD. Then I copied all of the *.inf files to a specific directory on my slackbox
After that I ran
ndiswrapper -i "drivername which I can't remember, I am at work now :-)"
It indicated that the driver installed correctly. :D
So then I proceeded with a modprobe ndiswrapper and that worked.
So I typed iwconfig and seen my wlan0 interface. I then configured the channel,essid and finally the key like I do all of my other wifi linux boxes.
Everything took from the console level ok.
Now the problem, I tried dhcpcd wlan0 and it just sat there forever. Usually with my other wifi boxes, when I type dhcpcd, after 3 or 4 seconds I have a dhcp address.
What is the deal here.
Also on the Linksys CD there are 3 inf files one being autorun.inf. Of couse I no not to use that one. I tried the last 2 inf files and the same problem occurs
Anyone have any sucess working with the ndiswrapper and linksys wmp11 card.
I also tried suse 9.2 because it is pretty good about picking up hardware and it did not work either.
Well after me getting pissed I ordered 2 orinoco cards from newegg.com
Can anyone help,
