[Ndiswrapper-general] DWL-610 not working

[Michael W. <wo...@wo...>]

Hi

I hope that somebody can help me get my dwl-610 to work on my Targa
laptop.

I fetched the source from CVS yesterday. I use 2.6.4 and debian
testing/unstable. 

The output from lspci:

op:~# ndiswrapper -l
Installed ndis drivers:
netdlwl present

I got the driver from
ftp://ftp.dlink.de/dwl-products/dwl-610/Treiber_Firmware/DWL610_driver_eng_WPA_V5.140.523.zip

I also tried the driver from the Realtek homepage, but when using it my
hardware was not recognized.

I setup the card using the following commands:

modprobe ndiswrapper && loadndisdriver netdlwl
iwconfig wlan0 key restricted 1234567890
iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed
iwconfig wlan0 essid any
iwconfig wlan0 channel 1
iwconfig wlan0 ap $AP_MAC

(Where $AP_MAC is the MAC address of my access point.)

ifup wlan0 brings the interface up, but it seems that the commands I
executed had no effect.

iwconfig gives me:

ifconfig gives me:

From dmesg I get:

when I try to ping some host.

Anything else you would want to see? So far I had no crashes.
