Networking :: DWL-G650

I wasn't sure about the the "ath_pci" module (if it was needed, or not). I think it is only applicable to a wireless pci card. I believe you have the card active, the only thing you thing you need now is to find the signal. Try "sudo pump -i ath0". The "pump" command should find the signal if it is a dhcp router is being used. Otherwise, you will need to set up the proper ip numbers with "iwconfig" (Sorry, I'm not to well versed in doing that). You could also try either Netcardconfig or Wlanconfig in the DSL Control Panel.

I have successfully used to "pump" command to connect to wireless hotspots. When it works, the second light activates when its connected.

did what you said; got operation failed and no second light

dgilbert, I just figured something out..... I was incorrect about the DSL version I was using when the card worked "out of the box". The DWL-G650 worked great with DSL 2.1 (kernel 2.4.31) after installing the madwifi.dsl extension. You are correct about the errors in 2.2 (kernel 2.4.26). I did some messing around and I do have the card working using ndiswrapper and the win-drivers that came with the card.

thanks a lot. i changed versions and it works. i'm typing this message with my wireless laptop!
