look under The Linux drivers method, check first what chipset the WLAN stick has and then use the commands that are displayed for it.
if it has a Ralink RT2570 chipset for example you have to enter (as root user):

Code: Select all

modprobe rt2570
iwconfig rausb0

if the 2nd command don't work you will have to install the wireless-tools package first..

Quite honestly, it took me at least a week or two of fooling around in my spare time to get my WLAN working properly..now I can pretty much connect to any network with no problem. Fool around, explore and learn. Through the process of trying to install these drivers I had learned a lot about linux I did not know previous to this. The great thing about linux is there are so many resources for issues such as install a WLAN that really, you don't need a whole lot of help..perhaps the odd question when you are really stuck. What type of card are you using? Perhaps I can assist you?

Start by googling around for the drivers for the chipset. As well as going to the forum for the distrobution of linux you have(they all have a support forum of some sort) and checking there.

Code: Select all

The Linux drivers method

Recent distributions come with precompiled drivers. In such a case, all that you have to do is to load the kernel module with "modprobe" (as the super-user "root"). You can then check that you have a WiFi network interface with "iwconfig" (from the wireless-tools package).

Chipset Commands

Ralink RT2570 	
# modprobe rt2570
# iwconfig rausb0

Ralink RT73 	
# modprobe rt73
# ifconfig rausb0 up
# iwconfig rausb0

Zydas 1211B 	
# modprobe zd1211b
# ifconfig wlan0 up
# iwconfig wlan0

i have the Zydas 1211B
so wer do i put my drivers from the cd
do i just leave them on the disk or wot
plz tell me step by step it cant be to hard to explain if yo know linux

1. start xterm or other shell
2. type "su" or other root
3. enter password
4. modprobe zd1211b
5. ifconfig wlan0 up
6. iwconfig wlan0

this will check config.

if its not available you will need to recompile the driver yourself
download the driver

Code: Select all

http://zd1211.ath.cx/download

open shell
locate zd1211.ath.cx
cd into directory
# In the Makefile, set ZD1211REV_B=1.
Set KERN_26=n if you are using a 2.4 kernel.
$ make
exit

open shell as root
locate zd1211.ath.cx
make install

then repeat part 1 again to see if its set

so wer should my drivers be when i do this

p99 · Post by **p99** » 31 Jul 2007, 01:12

just put it into like /home/bubzuru/.wifi/

You could put it elsewhere doesn't really matter as long as it's somewhere you likely won't mess with even on accident.

unpack it with:

umm, sure it is possible....best is when you have ntfs-3g installed so you have full access to ntfs partitions, else you have to mount the partition by hand to be able to access it.
newer distributions have nfts-3g onboard already, else simply install it via the package manager.
