This first message describes some tests I made.
Read the second message for a short summary.
My tests also resulted in a small wizard:

You need a new KERNELMODULE
See the message about my wizard.
You can ignore the rest of this thread, except you look for an easy to use "antenna" (reflector).

There are different revisions of the Dlink DWL-G122 using different chipsets:
http://support.dlink.com/products/revis ... d=DWL-G122
A1:
A2:
B1:
C1: rt73
D1:
I have C1, so to load the kernelmodule, in a consolewindow I type (Puppy 2.12):
modprobe rt73
To check if it was recognized:
First, I activate it:
ifconfig rausb0 up
Now I check, if it was recognized:
ifconfig
This lists 3 entries (I also have an ethernet card):
sh-3.00# ifconfig

I see rausb0, very good.
Now I scan for networks:
iwlist scan
Code: Select all
sh-3.00# iwlist scan
lo Interface doesn't support scanning.
eth0 Interface doesn't support scanning.
rausb0 Scan completed :
Cell 01 - Address: 00:17:9A:61:B0:B9
ESSID:"Hamburg"
Mode:Managed
Channel:11
Encryption key:off
Bit Rates:130 Mb/s
Cell 02 - Address: 00:A0:C5:DA:21:86
ESSID:"ArcorWirelessLANWgod"
Mode:Managed
Channel:6
Encryption key:on
Bit Rates:6 Mb/s
When I typed it once, I only saw "Hamburg".
So what must be done next?
I tried the WAG-wizard in Puppy too.
But it showed no networks, just if I typed ifconfig rausb0 up from time to time in a console, the WAG-wizard detected the networks, too.
For this reason at moment I try to learn how to set up this piece in the console.
This will allow me to give rarsa feedback for the wizard, and I also want to learn how things work.
To be continued...
connect to "Hamburg":
iwconfig rausb0 essid Hamburg mode Managed
Code: Select all
ifconfig:
rausb0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:19:5B:3A:B7:96
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

RX bytes:1337182 (1.2 MiB) TX bytes:1609320 (1.5 MiB)
dhcpcd rausb0 <-- ERROR: this disconnects from Hamburg after 60 secs.
Ok, this is better:
ifconfig rausb0 192.168.0.12 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0
Now I get:
ifconfig
Code: Select all
rausb0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:19:5B:3A:B7:96
inet addr:192.168.0.12 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

So there seems to be a connection, but I cannot access internet.
But the permanent LED is not litten, there is only blinking one permanently.
Maybe I should not try it in the middle of the night?
If it is a public hotspot, it might be online during daytime only.
Time to sleep now...
