Froggy_2 Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Hi all, I bought a new wireless router. It's a D-Link DSL-G604T info here. It's working fine, I have my own computer, my sisters and my parents computer all running fine with the new router. However I can't get it to work on linux. I'm using redhat linux9 and there's no drivers for it and linux wont detect it. The wireless receiver is USB not ethernet. An ethernet cable from the router to the machine running linux works, however that means a horrible 30 meter cable winding around the house, which my dad isn't to please about seeing as how he bought me a wireless router. Does anyone know how I can get this working on linux? All help appreciated, Froggy. 99 Attack :: 99 Defence :: 99 Strength99 Hitpoints :: 99 Cooking :: 124 Combat Current goal 82/99 Ranged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhrstBrn Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 What is the make and model of your wireless card on the linux machine? If your wireless card does not have drivers, you might want to try ndiswrapper (http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/). It works great, I've used it many times on my linux machines without problems.

Hey, I tried using ndiswrapper 1.0 but for some reason there was a compiling error., causing the whole computer to lock up when I remove the device. I'm using 2.6.10 x kernal. I've searhed and searched but not been anle to find anything. 99 Attack :: 99 Defence :: 99 Strength99 Hitpoints :: 99 Cooking :: 124 Combat Current goal 82/99 Ranged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
