Networking :: Help with Linksys WUSB11

Quote (tempestuous @ Dec. 24 2005,22:15)

You don't have a Prism device. There are 2 different versions of the WUSB11 ver2.6, both contain the Atmel chipset. See here -
http://at76c503a.berlios.de/devices.html
You could use ndiswrapper, or if you're prepared to compile a Linux driver ...
- for the 077b:2219 version use the BerliOS driver from the above website.
- for the 066b:2211 version use the driver from http://atmelwlandriver.sourceforge.net/

Run "lsusb" to identify your device.

tempestuous, I noticed that you're the one who created the myDSL apps for the atmel wlan drivers. These are compiled for the .26 kernel, and don't work with the .31 kernel. I'm not knowledgeable enough to recompile these... any chance you could update the repositories? It would be a big help in gettting my Linsys WUSB11 (v 2.6) working...

Sorry. I once had a DSL/Knoppix development setup with full kernel build tree, but no longer. I'm now playing with other Linux distributions and projects.

You could do it yourself with gnu-utils.dsl and kernelsource.dsl
... or use my old Atmel drivers with DSL ver1.5, which was the last version of DSL with the 2.4.26 kernel.

Hi,

sorry for lack of updates on my situation.

roberts, I've tried what you suggested but could get the copy and paste to work! *turns red* I figured it wouldn't be to big a deal with the news that my card is actually Atmel!

I figured i'd stick with win98 on this PC, it works fine for what I want. However I really love the whole idea behind opensource and linux so I plan to upgrade to something newer that can handle a full blown, memory eating linux distro. In the meantime I have changed all my windows software over to open source!

Thanks for all your help guys!

Hi.
I've got Linksys WUSB v. 2.8. I'm trying to bring it up since many month. The only linux distro makes it happen is the polish one Linux eduCD. It's using simply drivers for atmel at76c503. probabily its kernel has got a better support for usb hardware.
I've tried to use ndiswrapper with DSL 2.0, but nope. Ndiswrapper shows: driver present hardware present i could manually bring wlan0 up, but it was the only I could

maybe its time to upgrade DSL kernel?

/katcha/.

I don't believe this. Your adaptor is working successfully with Linux-EduCD because of the BerliOS at76c503a driver. Atmel-based USB adaptors will probably work just fine in DSL2 with this driver, too.

ndiswrapper is at fault. I have tried it on different hardware with different distributions. An all-too-common outcome is total lockup, especially with USB devices. And the latest version 1.7 still has problems.
