 |
|
I have a problem getting the wireless controller to work.
I simply can't which controller there are onboard.
Anyone who know what controller [And maybe even which driver to use]?
Any help appreciated. 
Thanks in advance. |

kroghster,
Welcome to Gentoo.
Boot with the liveCD (or install pciutils) and run lspci.
Somewhere in the output it will list your wireless card. Posr all the output if you can't spot it, or just the Wireless line if you do.

Hi.
If you didn't install Gentoo yet on this system, search here in the forums for your motherboard or for the JMicron RAID controller as you might have some problems installing from the Gentoo cds.

I did install Gentoo 
Had only one problem using the installer [Not related to JMicron]. the installer hanged with a statement like this:
mount CD:/ sda
It was solved in the BIOS.

kroghster,
Thats very interesting, your on-board wireless controller is attached to your USB.
I've not seen that before but theres no reason, from a design point of view, not to do that.
I'm not sure if there is a native Linux driver for that arrangement. Try ndiswrapper and the Windows XP driver.

Try this one.

Moved from Installing Gentoo to Kernel & Hardware.
Hardware support question, so moved here.

I've try the net-wireless/rtl8187 (hard masked) but it freeze my system after
a little use of the card (say, surf for 30 sec).
Do you experiment something like that ?

No I am getting this error: (Sorry for the delay guys, got stuck with some other stuff)

I doesn't need the wireless stuff so I just kind of forgot about it.
Love the forum. |

To get wireless working on the finicky Asus P5W DH Deluxe motherboard, I use ndiswrapper (versions 1.26 and 1.31 work - I haven't tried other versions), because rtl8187 does not compile with gentoo-sources-2.6.19-r1
Use the Windows driver that came on the motherboard's CD:
| Code: | | ndiswrapper -i /mnt/cdrom/Drivers/Wireless/WIN98/Netrtuw.inf |
Relevant kernel config:
| Code: | # grep IEEE /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_IEEE80211=y
# CONFIG_IEEE80211_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_WEP=y
CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_CCMP=y
CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_TKIP=y
CONFIG_IEEE80211_SOFTMAC=y
# CONFIG_IEEE80211_SOFTMAC_DEBUG is not set
# IEEE 1394 (FireWire) support
# CONFIG_IEEE1394 is not set
CONFIG_PREEMPT=y
CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL=y
CONFIG_HZ_1000=y
CONFIG_4KSTACKS=n |
Sample /etc/init.d/net.wlan0
| Code: | #!/sbin/runscript
opts="start stop restart"
start() {
ebegin "Starting wireless"
modprobe ndiswrapper
ifconfig wlan0 up
ifconfig wlan0 192.168.2.8
iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc
iwconfig wlan0 key open 38419283472182742389457129
iwconfig wlan0 channel 9
iwconfig wlan0 essid 1234
eend $?
}
stop() {
ebegin "Stopping wireless"
ifconfig wlan0 down
modprobe -r ndiswrapper
eend $?
}
restart() {
iwpriv wlan0 ndis_reset
} |
Don't forget to attach the white circular aerial's cable to the external screw-in motherboard connection.
Ignore Realtek's Windows driver (version 1.234, dated 2006-10-30) because it cannot set the ESSID. |
