Knoppix and Wireless

**coindood** · 02-17-2004, 05:25 AM

I tried everything said in that thread, but I can't get it to work. I think it has to do with the fact that I have an A7v8x mobo with a built in NIC, so the eth0 gets loaded first, but I can't get ifconfig eth0 down to work because it says no such device. I read somewhere that turning off eth0 will make wlan0 work, but I just can't get it to work! And I do have kernel 2.4.2, so it's below 2.4.21. Any suggestions?

When you say 2.4.2, was that a typo and do you mean 2.4.20? If you're running 2.4.2, I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't work.

i used the binary Ndiswrapper at http://homepage.ntlworld.com/martin_...pper/home.html with MDK 9.2 and an ASUS WL-100g (Broadcom) and it works like a charm

anyone have any luck with the DWL-650+?

Craig is trying to help me out over email right now actually.

I get the device not found error too, and it never supplied an IRQ to the card.

Any ideas?

I posted about this in the laptop forum, but this topic seems to be going in the same direction.

With the Intel Centrino driver out now for Linux, will we see it included in the next version of Knoppix? (please!?)

To be honest, you probably won't see it for a while, Klaus Knopper takes a little while with the inclusion of drivers.
But, that is only so that the system doesn't break, or break another driver...
I also don't know the liscence that it is under, so he may not be able to include it with his GPL....
Here's hoping though, since the Centrino is a great platform, and it will make it easier to install.
