Hi, the above wireless usb stick doesn't work correctly
it needs ndiswrapper to use drivers, if i do it manually it workes fine, except when i type | Code Sample | | sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid myessid |
nothing actually changes, ie if i go | Code Sample | | iwconfig wlan0 |
it will still say essid is any/all. it works however if i use another iwconfig command ie | Code Sample | | sudo iwconfig wlan0 channel 6 |
, changes it so if i do a | Code Sample | | iwlist wlan0 channel |
it now says channel 6 (instead of 0).
if i do it in the gui with iwconfig, it just takes ages and i gave up as it stopped responding. if i do it with wlcardconfig it goes through the steps but freezes when it gets to setting essid, and when i use ndiswrapper it goes through installing driver, then it gives error can't connect, and prism2 didn''t work either (same as iwconfig)
note im using an ascii wep (prefixing with s:), though i dont think that should matter.
The stick works on my ubuntu desktop and server though those are significantly faster :P, it also worked on the same machine through windows
