 |
|
Voor de mensen die inderdaad de Thomson Speedtouch wireless adapter willen gebruiken die ze ontvangen als deel van het doe-het-zelf pakket van KPN.
Ik heb dit zelf nog niet geprobeerd, maar laten we er maar vanuit gaan dat ik niet de enige ben die hiernaar moest zoeken.
Gevonden op een usenet forum ( http://linux.derkeiler.com/Newsgroups/comp.os.linux.networking/2004-10/0092.html )

FYI: The Thomson SpeedTouch 120g, a 802.11g USB network adapter
(http://www.speedtouch.com/prod120g.htm, vendor:product id 06B9:0120) works
handsomely under Linux using the ndiswrapper.
Configuration: kernel 2.6.8.1, ndiswrapper 0.11rc1. Earlier kernels and/or
ndiswrappers may or may not work. I believe workable USB support for
wireless adapters requires a kernel >= 2.6.5.
The ndiswrapper will generate a "speedtouch" device (doesn't work, prob. a
dummy .INF target) and a "bt4501d" device (which works). I don't know what
the BT4501D is; my guess would be an internal product id. I don't think it's
a chipset number (see below), but it might be.
Caveats/notes:
- The driver may report an NDIS initialization error. This has no effect on
further operation. On my Win2000 box, the driver produces a STOP error
during booting if the adapter is plugged in; it must be plugged in after
booting. This may be a driver bug, and may or may not be related to the
error under Linux.
- Telltale section from the .INF file:
[DeviceList.NTx86.5.1]
%A021_DESC_STR% = PRISM_A021_XP, USB\VID_06B9&PID_0120
It seems to be using a PRISM chipset, but I cannot determine which one.
It might work with the native PRISM drivers (http://prism54.org) but I
didn't have the kernel to test this, and frankly I was more than pleased to
get ndiswrapper to work. If anyone has experience with the PRISM drivers, do
share. I don't think USB support is anywhere near finished, though.
- WPA doesn't work, so don't configure the rest of your network to use it.
what I've gathered, they're still working on it. WEP works fine. There's a
private command that seems to be related to WPA, but I couldn't figure out
its semantics.
- Telltale details from the installation CD: the executable links to Qt, and
Supplicant is on the CD (see http://www.linuxant.com). I'm guessing the
bastards are all happily networking their Linux boxes over there. 
- NOTE: The Linux drivers Thomson (formerly Alcatel) offers on their
website are for their USB *modems*, not wireless adapters. As of 2004-10-02,
there's no specific support in the way of driver/firmware updates to the
120g.
Posting this to Usenet because I didn't know a more specific place. This is
PD, please copy and put somewhere else if you think it helps someone.

Die PRISM chip schijnt een PRISMGT-compatible te zijn. Het is de Intersil 3886. In de adapter zit verder de NetChip NET2280, een usb-pci adapter...
Iemand met een elegante oplossing om de netwerkchip aan te spreken via de NET2280 mag zijn hartje luchten.
In ieder geval moet het ding met ndis-wrapper aan het werken te krijgen zijn.

Update to this: http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/WPA. RTFM,
me! Though there should definitely be nicer HOWTOs around; right now there's
an overkill of files with lots of info but no real handle on how to go about
it. It took me two days to get from scratch (as in: knowing nothing about
WLANs) to getting it to run under Linux. That's too long; if I'm Joe Blow
Linux User (he's a minority, but getting there) I want to toggle a few flags
or read a step-by-step guide and have it up and running.
I'll conveniently excuse myself from this task by saying that, hey, now that
I can use it under Linux, it's time to dust off that old Pentium 133 and
build myself a nice firewall...

Enjoy... Misschien lijkt dat voorbarig, maar als je niet kunt fritsenullen is er geen lol aan een pc. |

Met die PrismaGT ben je volgens mij snel klaar. Die zit al sinds een tijdje in de kernel. 
Geen idee of het werkt overigens, heb zelf (gelukkig) geen KPN modem nodig.
Die Net2280 kaart staat beschreven bij NDISWRAPPER:

# Card: NETGEAR WG111 802.11g Wireless USB2.0 Adapter
* Chipset: Prism54 (Intersil 3886 and NetChip NET2280)
* usbid: 0846:4220
* Driver: Netgear windows driver Version: NETGEAR, Inc.,03/03/2004, 1.0.8.4 from http://www.netgear.com
* Other: Works well. To get the driver, use cabextract on the .exe, then unshield on the data1.cab. WPA-PSK TKIP worked with wpa-supplicant 0.2.4. Used kernel SuSE 2.6.5-7.104-default. The driver locked the machine when connected to an OHCI controller, but worked fine with EHCI, on a SiS 650 chipset. TCP throughput was apx 7Mbps, which is low, but CPU usage was not maxed out as it is under windows XP on test machine. ndiswrapper is CVS top of tree from 23rd August 2004. There is a native driver for Prism54 that is working on USB support. View its status at Prism54.org As same as you read above, but I use Fedora 3 with Kernel 2.6.11-14. Use ndiswrapper version 1.1 from 5rd March 2005. I work with beta-driver from Netgear (WG111 SW1-2 Beta 13) in managed mode with no encryption. Encryction (WEP) doesn't work on my machine (Gericom X5 Force) yet, but I am still working on it. Try to configure via system-config-network (the fedora gui) with hotplugd started, so you can plug in and work. Attention!!! don't activate the item "active on boot" because hotplug doesn't run at boot-time.

Lijkt er dus op dat je gewoon de drivers van www.netgear.com kunt plukken en dat je die in combinatie met ndiswrapper moet gebruiken.
Gewoon de installatiemanual van NDISWRAPPER gebruiken dus: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=125627 |

volgens mij is er een snellere, niet NDIS manire om die dingen aan de praat te krijgen:

Dan toch maar Ndissen? Al geprobeerd, wat zijn de resultaten? |
