Linksys WMP54GS Wireless with Linux

[jwilli]

Daemon,
I followed your instructions (and Cabhan, your input as well) to the letter.
Exactly as instructed, at least 6 different times, to ensure that I was not making any mistakes.

Output of "dmesg wlan0" (last three lines) is:

wlan0: ndiswrapper ethernet device 00:0f:66:70:06:a8 using driver bcmwl5
wlan0: encryption modes supported: WEP, WPA with TKIP, WPA with AES/CCMP
ndiswrapper: driver bcmwl5 (Linksys,02/19/2004, 3.50.21.11) added

There is no "/etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-wlan0.pid" file.

Reboot does nothing to help.
I'm happy to provide any info needed to make this work.

Thanks.

I've been working out some other problems with the Internet on another forum as well, but I've got one question that will probably make it easier for anyone to help you out:

First off, I assume that the problem is still a lack of Internet access?

Now then, what's the output of the command

iwconfg wlan0

[jwilli]

Correct--no Internet access, no LAN access.
Output of "iwconfg wlan0" is:

wlan0 No such device

But of course it's there, and works fine under XP.
Thanks for responding.

You've run the script that was posted?

If so, I frankly have no idea. But I'm practically a Linux newbie, so your best bet is to keep searching around. But I've discovered that Linksys is not a Linux fan...

[jwilli]

Oh yeah.
Again, and again, and again.

And you're right; shame on Linksys-- if necessary, I'll use another wireless that supports Linux.

I've got it working 100% now.
took some time but is great to know it works.

Men, can you explain how did you make it work on linux? Iam using Ubuntu. Did you follow the steps of Daemon?
