US Robotics wireless card on amd64

laurentgedm

Hi everyone,

I have an US Robotics wireless PCI card, but i can't get it working.
I tried to use DriverLoader (http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/) to use the windows driver which only exists in 32-bits version.

So, has anyone got that working?

-----------------

I also tried to use the wireless adapter which is sold with my asus A8V Deluxe motherboard. I tried to use the 64bits Broadcom driver (http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/drivers.php) and it is recognized by driverloader, but the web interface which controls driverloader tells me that no card can be found for this driver.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help,

Laurent

Are you sure that you need DriverLoader, what kind of US Robotics wireless card is it? As far as I know, most should work with the in-kernel drivers.

I'm lost.

I'm a noob, and i don't know how to get that Wi-Fi working...

I tried to follow the howto (http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Wireless_Configuration_and_Startup).
But:

Hi Laurent.

Im not sure if your card does have in kernel drivers, but if it does not only broadcom based wireless cards work with ndiswrapper on amd64 right now. You also need 64 bit windows drivers to use on your 64bit installation of gentoo if your trying to use ndiswrapper (or driverloader for that matter).

If you install a x86 (32 bit) gentoo install, then you can use ndiswrapper with the 32bit drivers for your card. This is a lot more likely to work for you.

Its a problem at the moment, I too am waiting for some IPN 2220 drivers for 64bit windows that work with ndiswrapper on an amd64.

Hope this helps

I have a 64-bits system, so i need 64-bits drivers.

Actually, the broadcom 64-bits driver isn't what i need. I found that the chipset is a RaLink... and there is no 64-bits driver, neither for the RaLink chipset nor for the TI chipset.

I'll have to wait until windows 64 bits begins to spread... i hate this world.
