DSL ndiswrapper implementation for the Linksys WMP11_V4 PCI Wireless B card.
This card is supplied with the INPROCOMM IPN2120 Chipset.
I have been unable to get WEP encryption to work.
Also, be aware that you are writing to hardware registers that can receive bad data that can shut the card down. The only way to start over is to power down and up. I wasted much time trying to make the card work only to finally power down and up.
Most of the below came from:
http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/Installation
1.Download and place the driver files where they can be reached by DSL.
2.Use ndiswrapper -i /mnt/hda1/working/lsipnds.inf to install the driver. Assumes hda1 is mounted the driver is in a directory named working.
3.Use ndiswrapper -l to list the installed driver. lsipnds driver present, hardware present
4.The sourceforge wiki says to depmod -a. DSL could not process because of read/write protections but, it didn't seem to matter.
5.Use modprobe ndiswrapper to make the driver active. Both green LEDs on the card should be on. The LED on the left, while looking at the antenna should be flashing.
6.Use dmesg to list logging of the driver and module installation.
7.Use iwlist wlan0 scan to list the access points the card can find.
8.Use iwconfig wlan0 essid ESSID associate the card with your access point.
9.Use ifconfig wlan0 up to connect the card to the network interface.
10. Use netcardconfig or another tool to cause DHCP polling of the hub. The response should be OK.
If anyone knows how to make WEP encryption work with this card, please let me know.
