[empoy]

hi all,
can somebody please post how to get the adapter working on knoppix? there was a post back then on a step-by-step on how to do it, and it did work for me. but unfortunately, i couldn't find that thread now....so please if somebody could post it in layman's terms, would be very grateful.

Thanks

hey all!!!! i think i got it to work!!!!
here are the steps:
# unpack archive V 0.11 beta 6
tar xzvf at76c503a.tar.gz

# cd into dir with Makefiile
cd at76c503a/at76c503a

# alternatively with V 0.10:
#tar xzvf at76c503-0.10.tar.gz
#cd at76c503a-0.10

# compile source
make

# become superuser
su

# copy /lib from readonly CD to read/write memory
cp -r /KNOPPIX/lib /ramdisk/libmem

# relink /lib to the copy
ln -s -fn /ramdisk/libmem /lib

# look for old drivers
locate atmel

# old drivers are listed in the *.list file
cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/atmeldriver.list
grep '\.o' /var/lib/dpkg/info/atmeldriver.list

# remove old drivers
rm `grep '\.o' /var/lib/dpkg/info/atmeldriver.list`

# finally: install the new drivers
make install


now plug in the wusb
# become root
su

# configure the adapter
iwconfig wlan0 essid 'homewlan'
iwconfig wlan0 channel 10
iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed
iwconfig wlan0 nick 'homewlan'
iwconfig wlan0 key XXXX-XXXX-XX restricted
iwconfig wlan0 rate 11M
iwconfig wlan0 rate auto

# display setting for check
iwconfig wlan0

# bring up the interface
ifconfig wlan0 up

# get a DHCP lease from the access point router
pump -i wlan0

# check the routing table
netstat -r

# output for me:
#Kernel IP routing table
#Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
#192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 wlan0
#default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 wlan0

# ping the access point router
ping -c 2 192.168.1.1

# ping a foreign host
ping -c 4 www.osgev.de

post here if this one works for you....ty

hey all!!!! i think i got it to work!!!!

Which kernel was this using? I've been trying to get this card to work with the 2.6.6 kernel in the latest Knoppix 3.4 without any luck.

Thanks,
Ewan
