[SOLVED] Ndiswrapper + SpeedTouch 121g in OpenSUSE 11.0

**plinders** · 11-19-2008

Hi,
I'm new here, and I'm also a new user of Linux. I am currently using OpenSUSE 11.0.
I have had some trouble installing my USB-wifi-card. It's a SpeedTouch 121g, an USB dongle. Connecting through ethernet works fine, but the problem is that my modem is quite far away from my computer, so ethernet is not really an option. Wifi works fine on Windows XP SP2 (I am using a dual-boot system). I have used Ubuntu 8.04 in the past, but I didn't manage to setup my wireless lan here either. I have installed ndiswrapper and the wireless tools via YaST2.

Also, I have managed to install the drivers:

Code:

Ndiswrapper -i /path to/driver/BT4501g.inf

When I use the command:

Code:

Ndiswrapper -l

The driver gets listed. After using the command:

Code:

modprobe ndiswrapper

The command:

Code:

lsmod

Does show ndiswrapper.

Code:

iwlist wlan0 scan

Only lists my ethernet card.

I did manage to configure my card in YaST2, but when I try to set up a connection via Knetworkmanager, Knetworkmanager crashes.

The modem I'm using is a SpeedTouch 716g.

I have read in a How To on linuxquestions.org, that I have to remove the ethernet NIC. Is this maybe the solution, and what is a "NIC" anyway?

Thanks in advance,

Plinders

Hi and welcome to Linux Forums.

NIC = Network Interface Card

I don't see how removing the card that you need to connect to the internet, can help you connect!

There are native Linux drivers for most wireless chips, so NDISwrapper should be used if native support is not there. Post the output of the following commands, and I will try and help. If the wireless is an external USB device, make sure it is plugged in. It is even better to bott with it plugged in.

Code:

lsusb

Code:

lsmod

Code:

dmesg

Some of these are large, but please post it all. (no editing)

Well, it seems that NDISwrapper is the only way to get this to work in Linux. You have the driver loaded that most seem to use.

Code:

ndiswrapper: driver bt4501g (THOMSON,08/23/2004, 3.0.19.2) loaded

But NDISwrapper is giving errors

Code:

ndiswrapper (NdisWriteErrorLogEntry:191): log: C000138A, count: 3, return_address: f9807fac
ndiswrapper (NdisWriteErrorLogEntry:194): code: 0xc0000001
ndiswrapper (NdisWriteErrorLogEntry:194): code: 0x6d695442
ndiswrapper (NdisWriteErrorLogEntry:194): code: 0x37
ndiswrapper (mp_init:216): couldn't initialize device: C0010006
ndiswrapper (pnp_start_device:439): Windows driver couldn't initialize the device (C0000001)
ndiswrapper (mp_halt:259): device f7c48500 is not initialized - not halting
ndiswrapper: device eth&#37;d removed
ndiswrapper: probe of 2-1:1.0 failed with error -22

You may want to make sure that you have the latest version of NDISwrapper installed. And if you can find a newer WinXP driver for it, try that. You could even try a Win98 driver, but Vista won't work.

Maybe Windows locks the device, leaving it locked for Linux.

EDIT: If you want a fresh copy of the WinXP driver, you can get it here:

http://www.speedtouch.com/software/S...etup(ETSI).zip

It most likely is the same driver that you are using.

Well, thanks for all your help, it works finally!

I just removed ndiswrapper, installed it again, and installed the drivers from the link waterhead posted (thanks). I installed these drivers WITHOUT connecting the dongle to the computer. After the drivers had been installed, I connected the dongle and opened YaST. YaST found my dongle directly, and I configured the rest.

Now everything works perfectly!

Thanks for all your help!
