Installing Wireless Client (WUSB11v4)

[drunk]

Hello,

I'm trying to install the Linksys WUSB11v4 Wireless Client with Ndiswrapper.

When I try to load the driver it says:

Installing WUSB11v4
Parse error in inf. Unable to find section @mdusb.out

What sould I do?

I'm using the WikiDocs as a tutorial (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Dri...iswrapperHowto)

and when I enter the command lspci -n i can't see my client listed!

Any help would be apreciated!

Sorry my english.

If you post the output of lspci and lspci -n we ought to be able help you out. Also, can we get you to post the actual commands you are using along with the results.

oops, I missed the obvious here. The network device is USB, so it wont appear in lspci.

It looks like the windows driver is a fault. Can you post a link to where you got the driver so we can take a look at it. If you got the driver from the disk that (should have) came with the device, can we get you to try downloading a different one from the Linksys website.

Let us know how you get on,

Chris...

Card: Linksys #[WUSB11v4], 802.11b, USB 1.1

* usbid: 13B1:000B
* Chipset: M4301A, made by Ali
* Driver: Linksys Windows XP driver from ftp://ftp.linksys.com/pub/network/WUSB11v4_08272004.exe (driver is not available through http://www.linksys.com/download/default.asp). Install with WUSB11v4.inf
* Other: Works with snapshot of 2005-08-21.

This is the info I've got from the Ndiswrapper List (http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/m...dex.php/List#L)

Thanks!

[kakariko81280]

OK, I took a peek at that driver. Can I get you to remove the wusb11v4 driver and try the netusb driver instead.

ndiswrapper -e wusb11v4
ndiswrapper -i NETUSB.inf
ndiswrapper -l

And if that looks like it worked can I get you to go through the modprobe, dmesg, iwconfig from the earlier post.

Let us know how you get on,

And now, what should I do?

[kakariko81280]

It appears the version of ndiswrapper currently supplied with Ubuntu is too old to read some of the entries in the INF file. The driver you have installed just now won't work because it can't see the hardware.

If you go to the ndiswrapper website you can download the latest release. Follow the instructions to compile it and use it to install the WUSB11v4.inf driver.

If you run into trouble then post a message here and we can help you out. Let us know how it goes.

I indentified my Wireless client on the LSUSB list with the ID 13b1:000b! But now, I removed the old ndiswrapper and i can't install the new version. See the code above:

tiago@Desktop:~/Desktop/ndiswrapper-1.16$ make distclean
bash: make: command not found

What can I do?

Thank you!

[kakariko81280]

You need to install make and gcc.

apt-get install make
apt-get install gcc-3.4

Then try the make command again. There may be other dependancies, but it will tell you what is missing.

Let us know how you get on,
