SMC SMC2532W and Linux drivers

[ozdream]

G'day all, I had to buy a high powered wifi card with out consideration for Linux (I had to have this working for dumb WindoZ users)

Anyway I can not find a driver SMC does not have one or at least not one "I" could find.


Any work arounds?

You didn't look too hard

Unless SMC has changed their chipset,you,through blind chance,have bought one
of the best sniffing,wep-cracking,kismet running cards out there for linux.
Mine uses the prism2 chipset. It will use the linux-wlanng drivers,available at
http://www.linux-wlan.org/
or the HostAp drivers at
http://hostap.epitest.fi/
I don't know if the drivers are included with knoppix.I haven't used this
card with knoppix since 3.4.
You can download Auditor at
http://www.remote-exploit.org/?page=auditor
This cd has both the wlanng drivers and the hostap drivers,plus
scripts to change between them.It also comes with extensive documentation.

As root "lsmod" Look for prism2_cs
"cardctl ident" will tell you how knoppix "sees" the card
Searching this forum and google will give you all the info you need to
configure it.

Have Fun

I "did look" but too much junk info to wade through I tried two "ideas" both did not work.

I will give your info a go.
