Install TP-Link620G + NIC Driver Under Fedora9

Greedy and fresh, A Fedora9 is installed on the computer. Because the home only no wiring network cable, only wireless Internet access, with a TP-Link USB wireless network card, the model is TL-WN620G +, the Internet can not find the Linux system driver. No way. You have to use ndiswrapper. Because some time ago on Ubuntu with the nidswrapper-1.1 successfully installed the network card, this time also take it for granted to download the version 1.1 to install. After the file is decompressed, run the make command and prompt that there is no header file.

Greedy and fresh, a Fedora 9 is installed on the computer. Because the home only no wiring network cable, only wireless Internet access, with a TP-Link USB wireless network card, the model is TL-WN620G +, the Internet can not find the Linux system driver. No way. You have to use ndiswrapper.

Because some time ago on Ubuntu with the nidswrapper-1.1 successfully installed the network card, this time also take it for granted to download the version 1.1 to install. After the file is decompressed, run the make command, prompt that there is no header file, found that there is no installation of Kernel-devel, after a circle on the Internet, in the following address: ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/releases/9/Everything/i386/ OS /Packages/kernel-devel-2.6.25-14.fc9.i686.rpm

Download To the rpm package. Run:

Rpm-ivh kernel-devel-2.6.25-14.fc9.i686.rpm

And then install it. If you run the make command again, the problem persists. I thought for a moment, will it be a version of the problem, the Internet again to download the ndiswrapper-1.52, really smooth make and make install. Ndiswrapper is installed.

Step 2: Find the Driver folder of this model on the drive disc of the NIC. After reading readme, the Driver is in the Driver folder. There are many files in the Driver and I don't know whether it is useful, copy the entire file.

After several attempts, you only need to run:

Ndiswrapper-I net5523.inf

The driver can be installed smoothly. Run after installation:

Ndiswrapper-l

You can see:

Net5523: driver installed

Device (0CF3: 0002) present

The driver is successfully installed.

In the last step, run:

Modprobe ndiswrapper

Mount ndiswrapper to the kernel. The light on my usb Nic is turned on, and the installation is successful. Enable the network configuration. After configuring the Wireless Parameters, you can access the Internet.

However, after restarting the instance, you can find that the NIC is useless again. Run:

Lsmod

No ndiswrapper is found. Run again

Modprobe ndiswrapper

Then, we can mount ndiswrapper. Think about it: it's not a good idea to mount ndiswrapper every time you start the system. Google it,

Some netizens said, modify the modprobe. conf file and add:

Alias wlan0 ndiswrappe

You can do it, but after I try it, it still doesn't work. Finally, add the following sentence to/etc/rc. d/rc. local:

Modprobe ndiswrapper

This problem is solved by enabling the system to run once each time it is started.

Fedora 9 has many bugs and the system cannot be updated because of unknown reasons. The NIC does not run normally every time it is started, and must be restarted. After the network card is turned off, the light will flash continuously and need to be pulled out. I don't know how to solve this problem. (Author: Lin jungui)
