 |
|
I have a Linksys WUSB11 v2.5 that I'm trying to use as my primary network connection. However, it's giving me problems.
I have a wlan.conf and a wlancfg-DEFAULT in /etc/conf.d (installed when I emerged the wlan drivers) and I linked to them in the /etc/wlan directory. I have added "alias wlan prism2_usb" to /etc/modules.d/aliases and ran 'modules update'.
Here's the issues:
When I execute the following commands, the card activates, but does not detect/join the wireless network (no WEP enabled, channel 1):
| Code: |
modprobe prism2_usb
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=enable
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_autojoin ssid=homenet authtype=opensystem
dhcpcd wlan0
|
The light on the card blinks, KWiFiManager shows that it's active, but nothing happens and it doesn't connect. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

ok - after a reboot, everything seems to work, except I lost the ability to resolve DNS addresses after 5 minutes and the whole thing crashes after 10. ALso, I swapped a cable and now the device refuses to reset to a new USB ID.
Any ideas? |

| I have the same WUSB11 2.5 as you but I can't even get it to show up in ifconfig.. and when I run ifconfig wlan0 up -- I get device wlan0 not found. If you can help me get this part going, I can test mine a bit and tell you how it works for me..maybe you have a bad adaptor? |

Be sure that you have added an alias in your /etc/modules.d/aliases file:
| Code: | | alias wlan0 prism2_usb |
Also make sure you do the modprobe prism2_usb.
I have a WUSB11 2.5, and it works fine. I made a little script I run to get it working:
| Code: | #! /bin/bash
modprobe prism2_usb
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=enable
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_autojoin ssid=default authtype=opensystem
ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.100 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add -net default gw 192.168.0.1 netmask 0.0.0.0 metric 1
|
(at some point, i'll get around to making an rc-script). |
