okay, I can say that it works even with WPA2 as suggested by fightie and roberts, however, I did not try to load any large files.
Here is the script I am using to start the wireless network with WPA2. It is based on the references provided by roberts and fightie. I put two files with the drivers in the root directory of my USB memory stick, from which I am actually booting: net5211.inf and AR5211.sys. They come from the Atheros drivers for Windows.
| Code Sample | #!/bin/bash
# shell script to start wireless networking with WPA2
# with DSL 3.3 and Atheros 5212 based mini-PCI card.
# May 11, 2007
# The original Atheros kernel modules need to be removed.
# They don't work with WPA/WPA2 probably due to incompatible versions.
rmmod ath_pci
rmmod ath_rate_sample
rmmod ath_hal
# Start the ndiswrapper driver using Atheros' Windows drivers.
# Print a confirmation message that the drivers are loaded.
ndiswrapper -i /cdrom/net5211.inf
ndiswrapper -l
# Insert the ndiswrapper driver in the kernel
# First remove any leftover ndiswrapper drivers.
modprobe -r ndiswrapper
modprobe ndiswrapper
sleep 5
# Now start wpa_supplicant with the configuration file
wpa_supplicant -B -Dndiswrapper -i wlan0 -c /cdrom/wpa_supplicant.conf
# Obtain an IP address
pump -i wlan0 |
I will continue to run tests with the setup; as I said, I haven't tried loading big files yet. For general internet access and browsing it has worked so far. Thanks a lot for your helpful suggestions.
