d-link dwl 122 workin?
Hey everybody.
Momentarily I'm running a Kubuntu Linux, but I will return soon to Debian,
strangely a lot of applications are quite unstable and in the forums there
does not seem to be lots of activity...
Anyway I fear that my problem I had also under Gentoo and now under Kubuntu
(5.10) will persist with Debian again: a wireless lan usb-adapter.
I bought a D-Link DWL-122 because I had read in a couple of forums that it may
work with linux, it's based on a prism2-chip supported by linux-wlan-ng.
Now indeed I get this result:
bjosch@Aemilia:~$ ifconfig -a

Also in KInfo it shows up correctly. But KWifiManager is of no help, it seems
not to find. So I tried with the configs but maybe I messed them only up,
anyway it does not work. Here the configs:
/etc/wlan/wlancfg-AEMILIA
#=======WEP===========================================
# [Dis/En]able WEP. Settings only matter if PrivacyInvoked is true
lnxreq_hostWEPEncrypt=true # true|false
lnxreq_hostWEPDecrypt=true # true|false
dot11PrivacyInvoked=true # true|false
dot11WEPDefaultKeyID=0 # 0|1|2|3
dot11ExcludeUnencrypted=true # true|false, in AP this means WEP is required.
# If PRIV_GENSTR is not empty, use PRIV_GENTSTR to generate
# keys (just a convenience)
# add-ons/ in the tarball contains other key generators.
PRIV_GENERATOR=/sbin/nwepgen # nwepgen, Neesus compatible
PRIV_KEY128=false # keylength to generate
PRIV_GENSTR=""
# or set them explicitly. Set genstr or keys, not both.
dot11WEPDefaultKey1=[here is my correct key] # format: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
or
dot11WEPDefaultKey0= # xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
dot11WEPDefaultKey2= # e.g. 01:20:03:40:05 or
dot11WEPDefaultKey3= # 01:02:03:04:05:06:07:08:09:0a:0b:0c:0d
#=======SELECT STATION MODE===================
IS_ADHOC=n # y|n, y - adhoc, n - infrastructure
#======= INFRASTRUCTURE STATION ===================
# What kind of authentication?
AuthType="opensystem" # opensystem | sharedkey (requires WEP)
#======= ADHOC STATION ============================
BCNINT=100 # Beacon interval (in Kus)

# on regulatory domain)
BASICRATES="2 4" # Rates for mgmt&ctl frames (in 500Kb/s)

/etc/wlan/wlan.conf (abbreviated):
#! /bin/sh
# Wireless LAN adapter configuration
#
WLAN_DEVICES="wlan0"
# Below is the list of channels to scan, when we scan.
ChannelList="01:02:03:04:05:06:07:08:09:0a:0b:00:00:00"
# Below is the min and max time we linger on a channel during a scan.
ChannelMinTime=200
ChannelMaxTime=250
# And here we have the master scan toggle.
WLAN_SCAN=y
SSID_wlan0="AEMILIA"
ENABLE_wlan0=y
#SSID_wlan1=""
#ENABLE_wlan1=n
#SSID_wlan2=""
#ENABLE_wlan2=n
A "dmesg" gives me this:
[ 1650.792169] p80211req_dorequest: wlan0: only dot11req_mibget allowed for
non-root.
[ 1659.701331] hfa384x_usbctlx_complete_sync: CTLX[3] error: state(Request

I wished it might be a bit easier, I read a lots of post in forums and docus,
I tried to change some values in the configs but when I do something like
iwconfig, it's always the same result:
bjosch@Aemilia:~$ iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
sit0 no wireless extensions.
wlan0 no wireless extensions.
Can anybody give me a "practical" advice? Thanks in advance.
