I hope someone can Help me!
I have installed DSL onto the HDD of my Notebook.It is an Old HP Armada 7800. With Grub you can start win2000 or DSL.
This Notebook, had no RJ-45 Eth, so i must use Wlan. But i don`t know how to Install this USB device. It is a Trendnet TEW-229UB. Tested in Suse 10.0 he wantet to have the atmel-firmwar... .deb. After i downloaded it the stick runs perfectly. But with my notebook, i don`t have any connection to the Internet withiout the Stick. And i have no Ideo, how to Install the atmel firmware...deb under DSL. Or how to configure it.

In the Wlan config manager of Fluxbox, the stick is not listed or somewhere else.

Argh!!! Finally a good small Distri of Linux and i have such a big problem with this F***ing Stick. :angry:

If you've got the atmel deb package you used with Suse on a CD or a stick, you could install it on your DSL system with Synaptic or the apt-get utilities.

Another option, if you've got the windows driver for the TEW-229UB, would be ndiswrapper.

It appears you are fortunate to have the TEW-229UB USB1.1 version with Atmel chipset, not USB2.0 version with non-Linux supported SiS chipset.

So you can use the BerliOS Atmel driver, see here -

I have watched in a list of Supported adapters for wlan, and its in the List with the atmel firmware..... But i don`t know how to install it. can somebody give me a little how to?
i have a tar.gz file and a .deb file with the driver, but i never installed packages or driver in linux... (only while installing a system automatikally or with apt-get, but apt dont work without the usb stick)
THX for any help...

Suse 10.0 probably contains the very latest BerliOS Atmel driver, which requires separate firmware files. You're now dealing with DSL, forget about all that.
Get DSL2.2 RC1 (it has kernel 2.4.26) and this driver package -
< http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub....ers.dsl >
Install referring to the info file at the same download location.
This is version 0.11 of the BerliOS driver and the firmware is self-contained. Your adaptor is listed on the compatibility list at < http://at76c503a.berlios.de/devices.html > so it should work.

The atmelusbdrivers.dsl package is installed by selecting it in emelFM, then press "myDSL".
Complete instructions are in the info file at the same download location.
"make" is not necessary.
