Networking :: Ndiswrapper and Dlink DWL-g122 USB

ok guys, heres my full unedited, hardcore story.. well maybe not full, since i am at work.

DWL-g122 WILL NOT work with any flavour of ndiswrapper that comes with any DSL release. After many sleepless nights, and re installing ndiswrapper as well directly from tar, and compiling. trying multiple drivers as stated in ndiswrapper install faq... i gave up.

downloaded a ndiswrapper look alike. Driverloader. after compiling driver loaded it asked me for my windows .inf file , the one i used ndiswrapper with. lappy froze, restarted pc, and wireless lan came on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

only downside is that driverloader costs 19 bucks.. comes with a free 30 day trial.

so its not too bad.

if anyone here ever gets the DWL-G122 USB hardware rev A2 to work with ndiswrapper, i would love to know!!

eljudo,

... another thought ... although your chipset is the uncommon Prism3 SSF, it's presumably part of the Prism2/2.5/3 family, so it's possible that linux-wlan-ng may work. Try it - "sudu modprobe prism2_usb" then DSLpanel, then Prism2.

Also, there's a lesser-known dedicated driver for the Prism2/2.5/3 - HostAP - http://hostap.epitest.fi/
