 Posted: Mon Aug 14, 2006 2:59 am Post subject: Newb Wireless Card Question |
 |
|
I got a netgear WG511T WiFi card and dsl-n doesnt support it.
i read that you can get the netw511.inf file off a windows install put that on a cf card and go from there but i dont have a cf card, and you may say that i should use a usb pendrive, and i did, but it does not work.
and even if i did use usb i would not be able to save settings because dsl-n wont install to hard drive!!!
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!! |

You don't need to install to hard drive.
But you do need some sort of persistent storage.
You mean you don't have a physical hard drive in the machine, and no usb port, and not even a floppy drive?
Any persistent stroage device could be used to save your settings and including the .inf and .sys files from Windows needed for the ndiswrapper program to make your wireless card work. |

Im sorry i should have been more specific about my problem.
i have a usb port but when i trie to install dsl-n to it it says somthing like
"filesystem error" or somthing like that.
i have a 5Gb harddrive but it wont install to harddrive "filesystem error" again.
then another problem i dont have the driver cd for the netgear WG511T.
but i downloaded it off the internet using another PC and put it on a usb pendrive.
**EDIT**
I think it uses a Atheros chipset. if that helps. |

As soon as I can get RC4 out, it has Atheros MadWiFI working.
I have been using it on a Sharp MM10 notebook.
Stay tuned. |

Thanks,
Also my harddrive wont mount.
i used a cheat code to copy cd to harddrive,
this is what i get.
[b]fb1024x768 tohd=/dev/hda1
scanning for usb/firwire devices...Done
accessing dsl cd at /dev/hdc...
found primary dsl compressed image at /cd/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX.
copying dsl cd failed. /dev/hda1 is not mountable.[/b]
And i tried it with two identical harddrives. |
