I have a dlink wireless card in my desktop. This is how I set it up. Not sure if it's of any help but I figured I might as well share. I was surprised at how easy it was once I decided to figure it out. #### How to setup dlink wifi on crux 2.1 http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Linux.Wireless.drivers.... http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/FirstTimeHowTo http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/GettingMadwifi http://snapshots.madwifi.org/ Requirements * A PCI/miniPCI or Cardbus card with an Atheros chipset. * You will need root privileges for the machine on which you intend to install MADWiFi. * You will need to know how to install packages for your machine's distribution. Methods vary, but this would normally be done through a package manager such as synaptic, yum or portage. Refer to your distributions documentation for details. * Packages you will need to have installed: o sharutils -- MADWiFi stores some components 'uuencoded'. You need sharutils in order to be able to unpack them. * A full build environment, including: o gcc -- You need a C-compiler to be able to build MADWiFi. o make -- Used to automatically build programs. o The sources and headers for the kernel you're using. (These are normally in a package called something like kernel-headers-<version>.) #install prerequisites sudo prt-get install sharutils #download and install madwifi cd ~/src wget http://snapshots.madwifi.org/madwifi-ng-current.tar.gz gzip -d madwifi-ng-current.tar.gz tar -xf madwifi-ng-current.tar cd madwifi-ng-r* sudo make sudo make install ### ###If you want/can skip to wifi rc script and and run it or reboot. If you have trouble come back to here and test. ### #load the driver module sudo /sbin/modprobe ath_pci #bring up the wireless interface sudo /sbin/ifconfig ath0 up #make a normal station mode interface sudo /usr/local/bin/wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta #display wireless config sudo /usr/sbin/iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. wifi0 no wireless extensions. ath0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz Access Point: 00:0F:66:25:46:27 Bit Rate:48 Mb/s Tx-Power:18 dBm Sensitivity=0/3 Retry:off RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off Link Quality=36/94 Signal level=-59 dBm Noise level=-95 dBm Rx invalid nwid:3 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 #connecting to an open AP sudo /usr/sbin/iwconfig ath0 essid "magwireless" #display wireless config sudo /usr/sbin/iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. wifi0 no wireless extensions. ath0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"magwireless" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz Access Point: 00:0F:66:25:46:27 Bit Rate:48 Mb/s Tx-Power:18 dBm Sensitivity=0/3 Retry:off RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off Link Quality=37/94 Signal level=-58 dBm Noise level=-95 dBm Rx invalid nwid:3 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 #get a ip address sudo /sbin/dhcpcd ath0 #scan for wireless connections /usr/local/bin/wlanconfig ath0 list scan OR /usr/sbin/iwlist ath0 scan #RC script for wireless card sudo cat /etc/rc.d/wifi #!/bin/sh # # /etc/rc.d/wifi: start/stop network # case $1 in start) /sbin/ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 /sbin/modprobe ath_pci /usr/local/bin/wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta /usr/sbin/iwconfig ath0 essid "magwireless" /sbin/dhcpcd ath0 ;; stop) /usr/bin/killall -q /sbin/dhcpcd ath0 /sbin/ifconfig lo down ;; restart) $0 stop $0 start ;; *) echo "usage: $0 [start|stop|restart]" ;; esac # End of file -----Original Message----- From: crux-bounces@fukt.bth.se [mailto:crux-bounces@fukt.bth.se]On Behalf Of Geoffrey Zheng Sent: Sunday, March 05, 2006 7:19 PM To: crux@fukt.bth.se Subject: need help with laptop network Hi, all I have successfully install CRUX 2.1 on my laptop, but I need help to install my lan & wlan netcards, can anybody tell me where can i find instructions? thanks in advance.
