Linux wireless network adapter Linksys wusb54b Installation

1. Use http://prism54.org/islsmand prismare not successful, use ndiswrapper 1.52 simulate Windows interface program for http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/joomla/ (note the kernel at least 2.6.18 or 2.4.26, not enough to upgrade first)

2. the wireless network card configuration item is successfully added. It cannot be used after activation. You can ping yourself, but cannot connect to the outside. Suddenly, you find that you have not entered the wireless network password. The connection fails due to this problem. Solution:

(3) If WEP encryption is used, you need to set the WEP password:

# Iwconfig ethx key password xxxxxx

It is encrypted with 40-bit and 128-bit passwords, which are 6-bit and 10-bit hexadecimal numbers respectively.

(4) set the SSID, where Essid is the SSID of the wireless access point.

# Iwconfig ethx Essid

(5) Create the/etc/sysconfig/Network/ifcfg-ethx configuration file so that the wireless network adapter automatically obtains the IP address each time the machine starts. The file content is as follows:

Bootproto = 'dhcp'

MTU =''

Remote_ipaddr =''

Startmode = 'onboot'

Unique =''

(6) Start the wireless network card:

# Ifconfig ethx up

(Wlan0 is displayed through iwconfig. However, you cannot determine whether the NIC is correctly driven. Must Passiwlist wlan0 scan)

802.11 gb usb wireless network card installation experience in FC3
Author: motor98 17:04:12 from: Mr. Linux
I Just configured my baffulo 802.11g USB Nic, and I feel it is okay. The speed is similar to that of windows. Kernel is the default 2.6.9. ndiswrapper is used for the driver. The WAP on the wireless router is set to open and replaced by Mac access list. 1. Install the kernel development kit when installing FC3 2. Download The ndiswrapper source code. Http://ndiswrapper.sf.net 3. Compile ndiswrapper. > Make install 4. Download the driver for Buffalo USB Nic for Windows XP. This person can download it from the manufacturer's website based on his Nic. Note that you need to download the driver for XP. 5. Find the XXX. inf and yyy. sys files in the driver of XP and put them in the same directory. Install the Windows XP driver in ndiswrapper. > Ndiswrapper-I XXX. inf 6. Load the kernel module > Modprobe ndiswrapper 7. Run dmesg | tail to check whether it is installed. If it is installed, you can see: Ndiswrapper: Driver driver1 added Wlan0: ndiswrapper Ethernet device XX: xx 8. Create a ifcfg-wlan0 configuration file in the/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts directory. Enter DHCP, DNS, and MAC address as needed. 9. Run System-config-network and you will find that you just need to start the network card wlan0. Success.

3. Prepare the driver for the NIC in WINXP. The driver should be the latest, which is specified for XP. I am using a PCI wireless network card (dwl-g520) of D-link, with the drivers ar5211.sys, ar52119x. sys, and net5211.inf.

Ii. installation and configuration

1. Installation

(1) unzip: tar-zxvf ndiswrapper-1.52.tar.gz

(2) into the ndiswrapper-1.52: CD ndiswrapper-1.52

(3) Compile: Make // you must set up the compiling environment before this operation, that is, install the development environment.

(4) installation: make install // if the default installation path is not used, you can use. Configure -- prefix = "/etc/local" to specify the installation directory. // This directory is self-built.

(5) Check the installed version ndiswrapper-v | grep // which does not seem correct. If the installation is successful, version: 1.51 is displayed.

(6) to obtain the Windows XP driver of the wireless network card, I have obtained ar5211.sys, ar52119x. sys, and net5211.inf.

(7) go to the drive Directory: CD/home/TSM/dwl_g520

(8) install the wireless NIC Driver: ndiswrapper-I net5211.inf

(9) check whether the driver is installed: ndiswrapper-l // For example, net5211 (driver name): Driver Installed

(10) write the configuration file: ndiswrapper-m

Ndiswrapper-Ma

Ndiswrapper-mi

(11) automatically loaded modules after startup: modprobe ndiswrapper

2. Configuration

(1) configure the wpa_supplicant.conf file:

VI/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
Ctrl_interface =/var/run/wpa_supplicant
Ctrl_interface_group = wheel
Network = {
SSID = "any"
Key_mgmt = none
}

(2) configure the wpa_supplicant file:

VI/etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant

Set the file content:

# Wlan0 and wifi0
# Interfaces = "-iwlan0-iwifi0"
Interfaces = "-iwlan0"
# Ndiswrapper and Prism
# Drivers = "-dndiswrapper-dprism"
Drivers = "-dndiswrapper"

(3) iwlist scanning: scan your AP. // The operation is unsuccessful. The problem is unknown.

(4) After system-> Management-> service-> NetworkManager starts it, its icon is displayed in the upper right corner.

(5) Click this icon to list your AP and select it for connection. During the connection process, enter the encryption password of the AP (sometimes twice ).

This is complete. The encryption type of your AP is automatically detected. If WEP is used, select a few more options for wireless security.

In addition, automatic activation of the NIC or wireless NIC will slow down when the NIC is not connected. The best way is to cancel Automatic activation when the computer is started. In this way, it will inevitably be too slow to enable.
