Hello,

I got an old Compaq Armada 3500 and did a frugal installation to hda1. So far it's working fine and I can use the PCMCIA networkcard with a cabel.
However I want to use a wireless connection and got a DWL G650+ cause I did not read carefully the wiki section where is written G650 vC2. But it seems that some of you are using this card.
I tried ndiswrapper from the control panel but it fails. ndiswrapper -l in a shell say:
perl: warning: Setting locale faild.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = "de",
LC_ALL = (unset),
LANG = "de_DE@euro"
are supported ans installed on your system
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard local ("C").
Installed ndis drivers:
gplus   hardware present

iwconfig tells me:
lo      no wireless extensions

What do I have to do? I'm using Linux not for the first time but I guess I'm stil a newbie.

Hopefully someone can help me . . .
Matthias

I would give DSL v2.4RC2 a go.
It has a much needed updated ndiswrapper.

Hello roberts,

I tried the new DSL v2.4RC2.
Together with the driver (ftp://ftp.dlink.co.uk/wireless/dwl-g650+_rev_Bx/DWL-G650+_rev_Bx_Drv_v202.zip) recommended by the ndiswrapper wiki page (http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/List) a shell with ndiswarpper -l gives now:
gplus    diver installed, hardware present.
But I could not get a connection. I was disabeling the WEP encryption - same result.
Who can give me futher hints?

Thanks
Matthias

You did do

#modprobe ndiswrapper

Does iwconfig show an unconfigured device?

How about

# iwlist wlan0 scan

Hello roberts,

am I right that "modprobe ndiswrapper" loads this module?
However I wrote this but nothing happens.
iwconfig still tells me:
lo     no wireless extension
and iwlist wlan0 scan tells me:
wlan0  Interface does not support scanning: No such device.
Just for fun I tried this with wlan1-5 but with the same result.

In the DSL Control Panel, section System Stats, section pci there is an entry for my WLAN card:
0000:01:00.0 Network contorller: Texas Instruments ACX 111 54Mbps Wireless Interface.
So I tried ndiswrapper -d 0000:0200 gplus and the answer was:
Driver gplus is used for 0000:0200

It seems that the card is known to the system but is not able to connect to the network.
On my router I choose channel 6 and SSID "MHKPA96", Authentication: "Open system", WEP disabled (as a first step).

Could you give me a hint what's wrong?

Thanks
Matthias
