 How to get USB arvast WN 220 wifi to work? |
|
Hi all,
sorry for my english, i'm french^^
I installed puppy 2.13 on my laptope. Everything work perfectly except the sound and the wifi^^
To connect my laptope to internet, i use a usb key arvast WN220
But when i click on connect, i choose connect to internet by network interface, and in "interfaces" there is: "puppy does not see any active ethernet interfaces"
And on driver modules, i don't fond the good driver 
Have you got an idea to help me? Wifi with linux is too complicate for a stupid french like me  lol
Thanks a milion all^^

I think your device contains the Prism3 chipset. For USB devices this chipset is supported by the linux-wlan-ng driver "prism2_usb". It's quite likely that Puppy will automatically load this driver, run "lsmod" to check if it is listed. If not, you can load it manually like this -
modprobe prism2_usb
This driver uses a unique configuration utility, so the Network Wizard cannot be used. Setup instructions for this driver are here http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Wifi/drivers-for-Puppy-2.00-and-2.01/linux-wlan_README.txt

petertosh,
You don't need to set either of those. The frequency is set if you have set a channel (so either set a channel or a frequency), and the network id is not an essential parameter to get your wifi talking.

Just a question, i don't understand the last sentense :
| Quote: | A script is provided with these commands; /root/my-applications/bin/linux-wlan-connect
Just modify the script to include your wireless settings. |
Is that mean if i don't create this script i'll lost my connexion for the next reboot?
Cause when i write "/root/my-applications/bin/linux-wlan-connect"
I have for answer | Quote: | | No such file or directory |
Do i need to do something more after connect me on internet?
thanks again

i did everything :
| Quote: | #wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_wlansniff enable=false channel xx
#wlanctl-ng wlan0 p2req_channel_info_results channel xx
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=enable
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_hostwep decrypt=true encrypt=true
wlanctl-ng wlan0 dot11req_mibset mibattribute=dot11PrivacyInvoked=true
wlanctl-ng wlan0 dot11req_mibset mibattribute=dot11WEPDefaultKeyID=0
wlanctl-ng wlan0 dot11req_mibset mibattribute=dot11ExcludeUnencrypted=true
wlanctl-ng wlan0 dot11req_mibset mibattribute=dot11WEPDefaultKey0=01:23:45:67:89
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_autojoin ssid=MY_ESSID authtype=opensystem |
But like i said before, if i reboot thecomputer i lost everything and for the next boot i must to do all af this, not very pleasant
Is there is a solution? Writing a script or something else?
Thanks a lot.

Oops ... this script is only available if the old driver dotpup was installed
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Wifi/drivers-for-Puppy-2.00-and-2.01/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.5.pup
... but don't install this, because it's the driver for older versions of Puppy.
Let's create a new script now:
start a new document in geany. The first line needs to be this -
#!/bin/sh
Now add all those setup commands. Save this document, call it whatever you want - let's say "moi-wifi" in /root/my-applications/
Now we need to make the script executable, so do this -
chmod 755 /root/my-applications/moi-wifi
Now you can either run this script whenever you want to connect, or if you want to connect EVERY TIME you boot up, add "/root/my-applicaionts/moi-wifi" to the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local
And a reminder; do not use the Network Wizard.
