 |
|
I'm trying to get a Dlink WUA-2340 USB wireless network adaptor up and running on a laptop. This is supported, apparently, only by ndiswrapper and Windows drivers.
Ndiswrapper compiles correctly and installs the driver from the Dlink CD with no errors, but on module load I get:
| Code: |
urko rick # dmesg | grep ndiswrapper
ndiswrapper version 1.55 loaded (smp=no, preempt=yes)
ndiswrapper (import:242): unknown symbol: ntoskrnl.exe:'KeNumberProcessors'
ndiswrapper (load_sys_files:206): couldn't prepare driver 'neta5agu'
ndiswrapper (load_wrap_driver:108): couldn't load driver neta5agu; check system log for messages from 'loadndisdriver'
usbcore: registered new interface driver ndiswrapper
|
I'm using the latest stable kernel, gentoo-sources-2.6.31-r10
Does anyone know a workaround, a fix, or an alternate driver? |

Well, with no replies in a week, and nothing I can think of to fix the problem, I traded the non-supported Dlink for an Asus N13, which I was assured works well under Linux. The salesman even has one running under a rather old Fedora.
Sure enough, there is a driver for Linux on the CD that came with it. But the driver won't compile with kernel 2.6.31, and I've filed a tech support request with Asus.
There is also a kernel driver for the chipset, the Ralink 3070. But it does not recognise the UB id of the N13 card, 0b05:1784.
Does anyone have a USB wireless network adaptor which is actually known to work in a Gentoo environment with a 2.6.31 kernel? |
