I'm hoping some one can help me out here. I'm brand new to DSL and still a bit of a Linux noob. (I've been running Ubuntu on my desktop system for over 6 months now but there's still a lot for me to learn!) Anyhow, I recently purchased a older Dell Latitude CP M233SST laptop and bought a D-Link DWL-G650 wireless card to go along with it. I'm having a very difficult time getting the card up and running. I read on a different thread here that the card should just work if you install the 2.1 version of DSL with the Madwifi.dsl extension. I have the 2.1 version of DSL up and running but I can't seem to install Madwifi. I was hoping someone could help me out with this? Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated!I would try the latest version of DSL, 2.2b as madwifi is included.I have found that the newer Atheros chips aren't fully supported with the old modules included with DSL 2.2. I have compiled the latest Madwifi-NG sources and built an extension you could try madwifi-ng-2.4.26.dsl
I currently have it working with a D-Link DWL-650 that I use. After installing open a terminal and run sudo /opt/madwifi_setup.shJB, i tried to run the "sudo /opt/madwifi_setup.sh" but this is what i got:
Code Sample
sudo: /opt/madwifi_setup.sh: command not found
the madwifi_setup.sh file is in the /opt folder so i don't know exactly what i'm doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated!Sorry about that, I left part of the command out. The correct command is sudo sh /opt/madwifi_setup.sh , (I left out the "sh"). You should get a response about the "tainted" kernel, and Module ath_hal loaded. Follow this with - sudo pump -i ath0 if you are using a dhcp router.Next Page...
