Networking :: Wireless card no longer works in 2.0



Thanks for the offer.  I would really like to pursue this in the interest of helping resolve issues and increasing my understanding but I  am giving this ebay special laptop as a gift to my son so I going to put this on the back burner for awhile.  I really like what DSL can do on older platforms with little memory.  Also I think this is a great introduction to LINUX and not as complicated as larger distributions.  Anyway enjoy your holiday and keep up the good work.  Guess I change the topic again :) .
Exactly one year ago today I posted  this on the working wireless thread:

LInksys WUSB11 Ver 2.5  Works

Prism2 Chipset

edit /etc/modutils/linux-wlan-ng - change "prism2_pci" to "prism2_usb" in alias

modprobe prism2_usb
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=enable
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_autojoin ssid=<your APs SSID> authtype=opensystem
ifconfig wlan0 <yourIP> netmask <yourNetmask> broadcast <yourBroadcast>
route add default gw <yourGateway>



Well, I upgraded to 2.0, and this network card no longer works. I gather from the prceding discussion that perhaps my card's support has been deprecated. I guess I can try the ndiswrapper route.

Stating that something works 1.5 and not 2.0 is really helpful.
The prism2 modules are in included with 2.0 and work fine with my prism2 netgear device.

/lib/modules/2.4.31/linux-wlan-ng/prism2_cs.o
/lib/modules/2.4.31/linux-wlan-ng/prism2_pci.o
/lib/modules/2.4.31/linux-wlan-ng/prism2_plx.o
/lib/modules/2.4.31/linux-wlan-ng/prism2_usb.o

If you are getting an error and even the output from running the following might be helpful...

# sh -x /usr/local/bin/prism2.sh wlan0  your_channel_nbr  your_ssid
OK, pilot error on my part-

I messed around with the prism2.sh script, and lo, I was using the wrong ssid
(I recently chnaged my router config). I'm typing this on my DSL 2.0 box,
so I'm back in business.

Thanks,

Mark
