Hey all -

I've got an AirDash WRUB-2011i Wirless USB Stick from Ashton Digital. Plug it into my board running DSL. 'dmesg' reports that hotplug loads prism2_usb, and an lsmod | grep prism confirms that prism2_usb and some other prism modules load, yet I cannot get a device to show up in ifconfig. I cannot even "ifup" or "ifconfig <ipaddress> <deviceice>" or "ifconfig <device> up" - all fail with an error message saying it couldn't find named device. I've tried "wlan0", "wifi0", "eth1", etc....the only devices in ifconfig are lo0 and eth0. (No, dmesg reported no errors - just showed prism loaded and init'd)

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot or procede?

Did you configure it yet?
You can try the prism2 tool in DSLPanel (see http://damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/index.php/DSLPanel )

Right now, the board DSL is running on is headless (it's inside a sealed box, tied to a din rail and relay rack running a fountain and some other industrial perks, sitting next to a pond here at Hq) - but anyway, is there any similar command to the Lua prism config tool that can be run from the command line (ssh)? Or how about, what does the config tool do - can I do that manually from the terminal?

If you really want to do it just from a console terminal...
That prism2 lua tool creates a script that calls
Code Sample
prism2.sh <device> <channel> <sid> <wep>


But you could use the lua tool over ssh by forwarding X (ssh -X), which, if you don't need to just use the console and prefer a gui, may be easier/preferrable for you.

Wonderful! Works great.....in Infrastructure, anyway.

When I try to do an "iwconfig wlan0 mode Ad-Hoc" it fails with:

Code Sample

Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
   SET failed on device wlan0; Operation not supported.


Is this a prism "bug" - that it won't work in ad-hoc, only infrastructure mode? Or is there some way of setting ad-hoc that I'm unaware of?
