I have a AWLL 3026 USB NIC. It has open-source Linux drivers at http://zd1211.sourceforge.net which work for basic (WEP) wireless access. However, they do not work (as far as I can tell) for 802.1x PEAP authentication that my school uses. So, I turned to ndiswrapper. Airlink has a pack of drivers for my NIC for Windows 98, 2000, XP, and I was able to add the driver to ndiswrapper. When I run `ndiswrapper -l`, I get the following: Installed ndis drivers: zd1211u driver present Note that it doesn't say that the hardware is visible. (This is when the ndiswrapper module is not yet loaded.) When I load the module, it stops before releasing the modprobe process, and my kernel output in dmesg is as follows: ndiswrapper version 1.2 loaded (preempt=yes,smp=no) ndiswrapper: driver zd1211u (WLAN,09/29/2004,2.11.9291.2004) loaded And then it just sits there until I unplug my USB NIC and replug it, after which the following additional dmesg statements appear: wlan0: ndiswrapper ethernet device 88:dd:bd:cb:88:dd using driver zd1211u, configuration file 0ACE:1211.0.conf ndiswrapper (set_packet_filter:999): unable to set packet filter (C0000001) wlan0: encryption modes supported: WEP, WPA with TKIP, WPA with AES/CCMP usbcore: registered new driver ndiswrapper usb 1-1: USB disconnect, address 6 ndiswrapper: device wlan0 removed So, two problems with this: 1) The information that the kernel detected my NIC appears only after I unplug it, which defeats the purpose; 2) My MAC address is obviously wrong. (It begins with 00:01:A3.) Can anyone suggest anything to get ndiswrapper to correctly recognize my NIC? Philip |
