Hi Folks,

my usb stick wireless model : d-link DWL G122
h/w ver c1

i hope i got the adapter that dsl claims to be working with.
following is the link to it. unfortunately it is in the "Cards That Work, But May Take Some Effort" category.

< dsl verified wireless card >

the link light is blinking.

when i do lsusb i get the following

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 07d1:3c03 D-Link System
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0718:0083 Imation Corp.
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 1241:1177

i have an imation usb pen drive and a usb mouse connected
besides the dlink usb wireless adapter.

as per the link above i copied rt73.o, wirelessLanUp.sh
and wirelessLanDown.sh scripts and ran wirelessLanUp.sh.
i get segmentation fault error.

then i decided to reboot

i did lsmod first.

i get the following

then i do dmesg i get the following. i am posting only the usb part.

what is going on ? is the usb adapter recognized. if it is, is this the right driver ?

finally after loading the module what commands do i use to configure using dhcp.

Thanks a lot.

Is that another instance of that error, or just the old one?

insmod rt73
ifconfig rausb0 up
ifconfig -a

See if that shows up maybe...

Hi

Just tried my DWL-122 and after doing a Prism2 setup the DWL-122 was recognized and I could set it up and use.
I just did a frugal install today with the new DSL 3.3

kbf, rev C1 is not prism2 based.

Hi ^thehatsrule^

insmod rt73
ifconfig rausb0 up
ifconfig -a

after i run ifconfig rausb0 up i get the error
"segmentation fault".

when i do iwconfig after running "insmod rt73" it does show
rausb0 as a wireless interface besides eth0 and l0

i hope i bought the same wireless adapter that it listed here
< dsl verified wireless adapter >

Thanks.

Posted by manishsadh on Feb. 23 2007,03:34
