DWL-122 Wireless USB Card
Hello all,
I'm trying to get a D-Link DWL-122 wireless usb card
(http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=175) working, and with no success
thus far.
According to http://www.linux-wlan.org/docs/wlan_adapters.html.gz , this
card is supported by linux-wlan-ng with the Prism2/2.5/3 module.
I'm using stock kernels from Debian, 2.4.25-1-586tsc and 2.6.5-1-386.
I'm having issues with both of them at the moment (2.4 not supporting my
usb keyboard multimedia keys, ALSA troubles with 2.6 and my WPC11
wireless pcmcia card not working) so I'd like to get the DWL-122 working
in both if possible, so it works with whatever kernel I end up on.
So the problem is nothing happening on insertion. No messages about a
new wlan device being usable, etc. Just this:
with 2.6.5:
usb 1-2.2: new full speed USB device using address 6
with 2.4.25:
hub.c: new USB device 00:01.2-2.2, assigned address 5
usb.c: USB device 5 (vend/prod 0x2001/0x3700) is not claimed by any
active driver.
Things I think relevant for
kernel 2.6.5:
installed packages:
wireless-tools
linux-wlan-ng
question: is not having a "linux-wlan-ng-modules-2.6.5-1-386" package
the problem here? Would getting that and building it myself solve the
problem? Would I then also need to compile my own kernel?
modules:
prism54 43928 0
firmware_class 9600 1 prism54
kernel 2.4.25:
installed packages:
wireless-tools
linux-wlan-ng
linux-wlan-ng-modules-2.4.25-1-586tsc
modules:
prism2_cs 63980 1
ds 6420 4 [prism2_cs]
prism2_usb 63432 0 (unused)
p80211 17016 1 [prism2_cs prism2_usb]
usbcore 58220 1 [usbnet hid usbkbd usbmouse prism2_usb
uhci]
Couldn't find a Prism54 module in 2.4 as i could in 2.6.
Any thanks would be appreciated. Within a week of solving this problem,
I'll post the solution to it on my website so Debian people with the
same problem don't have to wade through all the message boards I did and
still not find anything.
Dan
