Networking :: Help with D-Link DWL-650



Please help me get my D-Link DWL-650 j3 working.
I have gone to this site
http://linux_wless.passys.nl/query_p....andname
but I have no idea what to do with the linux-wlan-ng file, even after reading the read me files.

Any useful help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks in advance.


Sorry for being new at this, but I thought that DSL would be one way for me to make use of my old laptop, and enable all three of my kids to do thier homework at the same time.  They are getting tired of waiting in line.
From your chart, it looks like a prism2/2.5/3 chipset..

Have you tried using the prism2 config tool in the DSLPanel?

There are 4 fields for data in the tool.

device -     leave it wlan0 for now
channel -   Only you could know your wireless access point/router's channel
                I don't know if it will autodetect if left blank..
sid -    an ssid name for your wireless network. Only you would have this info.
         Again, don't know if it will autodetect if left blank.
wep - is your wireless network setup for an encryption key?
         Again, only you could know this info.
         If so, there is no possibility for autodetect.

Click OK, and see if it gets a connection.
My prism2 cards work great with this tool..

This wiki gives some more details about the format of the wep key.

Yes, I have tried using that.  The only difference is that my network is not using WEP, but is using MAC address access.

When I click apply, nothing happens and the next time I bring it up the settings are cleared. (I am not sure if the settings are supposed to hold each time it is brought up)
Just for grins and giggles..

After reading your first post again ....
The iwconfig button uses wlan-ng to config ..
Does trying this option get any lights to flash on your card, etc?

The fields are the same as the prism2..

and the data in the fields doesn't stick, even when successful.
It's more like a form than a database.

Nope. The iwconfig did nothing, the light is green and solid, but no connect.
Is there a step that I need to do to make it so it does not need a wep key, since I am using mac addressing on my router?
Thanks for your help so far.
