Having some using Waterhead's file

[Ocifer]

Hi I'm new to Linux, but I've got to learn for some programming courses (I'm a computer science minor, math major).

I've copied and pasted the script Waterhead wrote into a file. I also made sure to remove the .txt extension. I placed it in my home folder and I ran the following command from terminal:

chmod +x ~/WirelessSetup

I then ran the program from the terminal using the ./ command and I received the following message:

bash: ./WirelessSetup :/bin/bash^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

I'm attempting to get a D-Link WUA-2340 Wireless Adapter working. (It's USB). I was wondering if anyone could help out? I'm comfortable using the command line, if it matters.

Did you by chance save the file using windows notepad? From what I've seen, that most frequently causes the problem.
Casey Watson bad interpreter: No such file or directory

EDIT: ^M is, I believe, a carriage return in windows.

Anyway, the most salient parts of the script for you that we need right now are

lsusb
lsmod

Also, I have tried installing this on my own in the past.

The forum won't let me post any links until I gain more posts (spammer measure, I suppose), but the method which I researched and followed involved installing ndiswrapper and using D-link's files from the accompanying CD. I tried this method to no avail.

Any help at all would be appreciated, even if it involves re-installing Linux.

From lsusb, I see that the D-link USB stick is recognized, but if I attempt to use a program like Wicd network manager, I see no reference to the stick at all.

When I look at the Windows information for the same USB stick plugged into the exact same port: Port_#0005 Hub_#0004

So you've already tried to load the driver using ndiswrapper?

What is the output of

ndiswrapper -l

The ndiswrapper module is not loading, so if the above returns neta5agu : driver installed do

sudo modprobe ndiswrapper

Then check the output of

iwconfig

Assuming that now shows a wireless interface check

sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
sudo iwlist wlan0 scan

And see if that returns errors.

[Ocifer]

ndiswrapper -l yielded:

WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be
ignored in a future release.
agux64 : driver installed
device (07D1:3A08 ) present

sudo modprobe ndiswrapper yielded:

WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be
ignored in a future release.

iwconfig yielded:

lo no wireless extensions

eth0 no wireless extensions

That appears to be a 64 bit driver. Are you using a 64 bit distro?

What is the output of

uname -mr

[Ocifer]

Output of uname -mr

2.6.31-17-generic x86_64

[Ocifer]

dmesg output didn't give any firmware errors. However, there were a number of errors that showed up with ndwisrapper in the line.

I couldn't attach the txt file of the dmesg output, as it was too large. I'm not sure which parts of it can be cut away and which are salient, aside from maybe the diswrapper lines.

I've looked up a wiki page about the wua 2340, and the entry there suggest that some minor tweaks were needed after using ndiswrapper, but those involved using the wireless interface. In my case, the wireless interface never shows up.

[reed9]

You're using the driver from the CD? Is it for Vista, by chance? Ndiswrapper only works with XP drivers and earlier.

If you go to the d-link site, you can download an older driver.

I would try version 1.00 at the bottom, for win2k and xp.
