US Robotics 5410 PCMCIA WLAN card works in Puppy Linux

#1 Post by Denis »

The brief version

the US Robotics 5410 card works for me under Puppy Linux 2.13 on a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo A 6600 Notebook using NDISWrapper (through the Puppy LinuxNetwork Setup Wizard) and feeding it the Linuxant Windows driver available here: http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/nd ... 1gv40q.zip

Giving NDISWrapper a copy of the driver I normally use under Windows didn't work, so get the Linuxant one above. Use RutilT to configure the wireless connection.

Hello

Can you post the correct way to configure it ?

The first time I install it it's all OK ... when I reboot the card does not exist and I can't re-install it

EDIT :

I made a script that fix my problem : :lol:

put denis's drivers in the same directory of the script and then execute it.
you need to execute the script everytime you boot the pc (add the script to rc.local)

#!/bin/sh

if [ ! -d /etc/ndiswrapper ];then

ndiswrapper -i usr11g.inf

ndiswrapper -l

fi

modprobe ndiswrapper

ifconfig wlan0 up

iwconfig

iwconfig wlan0 essid #YOURESSIID#

ifconfig wlan0 #YOUR-IP# netmask #YOUR NETMASK#
