Bundled WiFi Module ??

[luther]

Re: Knoppix 7.0.3 CD
Knoppix 5.1.1 CD

Hi,

Sourceforge appears to have a linux driver for the RTL 8185L chipset for:

54M
Wireless G
PCI Adapter

link (http://www.manualslib.com/manual/389236/Tp-Link-Tl-Wn353g.html)

Driver A:

link2 (http://sourceforge.net/projects/rtl8180-sa2400/)

Driver B:

link3 (http://sourceforge.net/projects/rtl818x/)

Q1: How can one verify that an RTL 8185L driver got bundled w/referenced knoppix versions?

Q2: Since knoppix did not detect/install a driver for the adapter, what's the correct indexing for a sourceforge install?

Regards,
luther

Hi,

Driver B did NOT compile:

Q: What's the root cause?

Hi,

I think the drivers you found are too old to work with current Linux kernels.

The page rtl818x (https://wiki.debian.org/rtl818x) in the Debian wiki says the 8185L by Realtek should be supported by the kernel module rtl8180. What is the PCI id of your wireless network card?
lspci

Q1: Is kernel module rtl8180 bundled w/knoppix 7.0.3.LiveCD?

Q2: How does this package become functional, if it is?

THX!

HI Every one Sorry TO be Barging in but i couldn't help it, can some body please help me find a copy of ZoneCD i have spend alot of time searching the internet on different search engines and still cant find a working link any help will be greatly appreciated

Please send me a private message.

[Werner P. Schulz]

Why do you look for a dead project?
As of October 12th 2011, the service and website appears to be offline and no longer functional (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZoneCD). No warning or feedback was given by the developer.

Hi rayjay,

try NAPALM Ftp Indexer (http://www.search-ftps.com/)

[rayjay]

I was Looking for it because i once experience "Captive Portal " and i thought it was amazing i Google router with special login pages because thats what i thought it was at the time and got only special router could do that but if the login page could be fully edited then i would use some source code to upload live video feed from a camera and shoot it back to the TV station via long range wifi frequency if ever that could have work but im out of working for the T.V company for now and im just a Tech trying to better my craft .

Hi rayjay,

Thanks to
klaus2008 (http://knoppix.net/forum/member.php?39501-klaus2008) I found the missing link i was searching for now i gotta go find me some floppy-disk to get it running because its not detectiong my usb cheers once again thanks.

[rayjay]

Hi every body Cant Get a floppy to buy in this age so i put aside the physical machine because of that and im trying vmware for the first time i created the floppy image from vmware initial setup but it still doesnt go :(

[klaus2008]

Hi rayjay,

I think VMware creates a raw floppy image without a FAT. Thus you have to format your floppy image before you can use it. I would suggest that you download Knoppix 7.2.0 CD and boot your virtual machine using the Knoppix ISO. Then connect your floppy image to the virtual machine and open an LXTerminal. Issue the command
mformat -f1440 a: to format your HD floppy image. Use -f2880 if you created a 2.88 MB floppy image. Afterwards, reboot your virtual machine using the ZoneCD ISO and connect your floppy image to the virtual machine when your are asked to insert a floppy disk. Then continue the setup.

I hope that helps.
