I have a Dlink
DWL-G510 that works find under Windows XP (dual boot). I'm trying to get it to
work with Debian 3.1r1.
I'm following the
instructions at
After installing the wifi driver, the wifi card hardware doesn't seem to be detected.
When running
ndiswrapper -l I get
Falcon:# ndiswrapper
-l
Installed ndis drivers:
mrv8k51 driver present
but I never get a
line that says
"hardware present"
I installed the
kernel image (2.6.8-2-686), ndiswrapper-modules-2.6.8-2-686, and wireless tools,
ndiswrapper-utils.
apt-get install kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686
apt-get install wireless-tools
apt-get install
ndiswrapper-modules-2.6.8-2-686
all returned with no
errors.
When I ran
ndiswrapper -i mrv8k51.inf I get
Falcon:/home/ed/DWL-G510_NET/WinXP# ndiswrapper -i
mrv8k51.inf
Installing mrv8k51
Parse error in inf. Unable to find section
W8100PCI.zerocfg

Falcon:/home/ed/DWL-G510_NET/WinXP# ndiswrapper -l
Installed ndis
drivers:
mrv8k51 driver present
at this point I have
the /etc/ndiswrapper/mrv8k51 directory containing the inf, sys and conf files,
so it looks good.
modprobe ndiswrapper
seems to work and the module is present.
I never get the
wlan0 interface to come up.
Any
ideas?
Thanks,
Ed
