WIFI, again
Published by peter April 25th, 2006 in linux.Today I replaced our US Robotics access point by a Linksys WRT54g, hopefully to get rid of all the connection problems we had before. After configuring the iBook and WinXP machine I tried to get my laptop to associate with it using dappers’ BCM43xx kernel driver. Couldn’t get it to work…
Finally I decided to get back to using ndiswrapper… after removing dappers’ kernel module and installing this driver using ndiswrapper it got everything to work again. Security seems to be much more mature as well:
wlan0: encryption modes supported: WEP; TKIP with WPA; AES/CCMP with WPA
I’ll see if it works in the office tomorrow!
Karin just got her new laptop. Was on line in minutes. Obviously running Windows. The thing just scans the air and offers access points. One click is enough. No visible WIFI card. No technical questions.
Come on Linux, show your superiority!
Well, I think linux showed its’ superiority by allowing me to remove the malfunctioning module from the kernel to replace it by a different driver without having all sorts of conflicts…
