FC5 usb wireless network card TL-WN620G installation, configuration and network communication implementation

Recently, a tplink usb wireless network card is installed on linux. I hope this will help you a little !!!!
Kernel is 2.6.15-1.2054 _ FC5-i686; the driver is using ndiswrapper; while checking whether ndiswrapper supports your Nic http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/List)

1. Install the kernel development kit when installing fc5.

2. Download The ndiswrapper source code ndiswrapper-1.32.tar.gz.
Http://sourceforge.net/projects/ndiswrapper)

3. Install ndiswrapper
Reference http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/Installation)
(1) first, create a connection with the kernel source code:
# Ln-s/usr/src/kernels/2.6.15-1.2054 _ FC5-i686/lib/modules/2.6.15-1.2054 _ FC5/build
(2) installation: # tar-zxvf ndiswrapper-1.32.tar.gz.tar.gz
# Cd ndiswrapper-1.32

4. Install driverloader-2.35_k2.6.15_1.2054_FC5.stk16-1fdr.i686.rpm.zip
Because the latest 2.6 kernel has an enabel/disable 4 K stack size option, the Fedora kernel disables this option and uses the 4 K stack size at the same time. When you load the kernel module modprobe ndiswrapper, a warning is displayed. the driver you run may need a stack larger than 4 K. Therefore, the 16 K stack kernel needs to be installed.
Download Site: http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/wlan/full/downloads.php)
Unzip: # unzip driverloader-2.35_k2.6.15_1.2054_FC5.stk16-1fdr.i686.rpm.zip
Install rpm package: # rpm-I driverloader-2.35_k2.6.15_1.2054_FC5.stk16-1fdr.i686.rpm

5. Compile ndiswrapper.
# Make uninstall
# Make distclean
# Make
# Make install

6. Install WINDOWS driver
Download the driver for TP-LINK usb NIC (tl-wn620g) for windows xp.
Http://www.tp-link.com.cn/) in the xp driver find net5523.inf, net5523.sys, athfmwdl. inf, athfmwdl. sys file. In the same directory. Install the windows xp driver to ndiswrapper.
# Ndiswrapper-I net5523.inf
# Ndiswrapper-I sthfmwdl. inf
# Ndiswrapper-I TL-WN620G.inf
In this step, install the appropriate file under/etc/ndiswrapper/. You can perform the following operations to check and confirm ndiswrapper:
# Ndiswrapper-l

7. Load the kernel module
# Modprobe ndiswrapper
After the network card is successfully loaded, the light will start to flash normally.

8. Run dmesg | tail to check if it is installed.
Usb 5-8: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2

Wlan0: encryption modes supported: WEP; TKIP with WPA; AES/CCMP with WPA

The above information indicates that the device has been installed.

48 Mb/s; 54 Mb/s
Extra: bcn_int = 100.
Extra: atim = 0
The nearby AP information is found. This indicates that the NIC has been successfully driven and can be used.

10. Create a ifcfg-wlan0 configuration file in the/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts directory.
The following is my configuration information for your reference only:
DEVICE = wlan0
BOOTPROTO = dhcp
HWADDR = 00: 14: 78: A5: AE: D4
ONBOOT = yes
USERCTL = no
IPV6INIT = no
PEERDNS = yes
ESSID = "TP-LINK"
Protocol = IEEE802.11g
Mode = Managed

11. Run system-config-network and you will find that you just need to start the network card wlan0.
# Ifconfig wlan0 up suspends the network interface, and a simple configuration (neat command) can enable normal Nic communication.
Success.

The above information indicates that the USB wireless network adapter works properly. Now, the WINDOWS Driver is mounted to LINUX.
