Hi,=20
this device is the same as the netgear wg111t. You should have two
drivers and not one so be sure to install both of them !
The first driver is athfmwdl.sys and it is a firmware loader (not the
ndis driver). Once this driver will be loaded, it will be immediatly
unloaded (yes, it is normal) and the second one (I don't know the name.
For netgear, it is netwg11t.sys) will be loaded and creates your wlan0
interface.
The unimplemented functions (RtlQueryString) are not necessary to load
the driver: they just read config values but driver also provides
default ones.
If you succeed to make work the driver (which should be fairly easy once
you know you need two drivers), please report it on Wiki
Laurent
Thanks for your reply. The drivers are downloaded and installed. After=20
some attepmts, shut-downs, re-installations ndiswrapper evokes wlan0 =
(see dmesg output).=20
The adapter starts blinking indicating that a network is detected.
Then configuration of my network is carried out. However still no =
internet
connection. An error is reported: no IP-address is received (see =
below).=20
Something happens I don't understand. The output of iwlist, iwconfig and =
/etc/sysconfig/networks-scripts/ifcfg.wlan0 is given below. Some =
discrepancies occur.=20
The wlan0-device address (dmesg-output) is not the same as the access =
point.=20
If I change the mac-address in the configuration than no ethernet =
device is reported.=20
The iwlist-address differs too and the command iwconfig wlan0 produces =
no access point at all.
Have you (or anybody else) any ide what is wrong ?
