D-Link DWA-121 & Linksys AE1200

[t0n1]

I have been trying to get these two WLAN adapters work in m Puppy Linux. When I plug D-Link I get this Bus 001 Device 003: ID 2001:3308 D-Link Corp. [hex] .. Does this mean it's not installed properly?

I have also installed or tried to install the Windows drivers with ndiswrapper. The Windows drivers doesn't seem to help much either but it says that I could install some of them. Maybe XP or Win 7 versions. I tried the same procedure for Linksys. I just don't see any wlan when I type ifconfig in the console. there is only "eth0, ham0 and lo". Also I didn't get the uninstalling of ndsiwrappers work either :s

I'm beginner using Linux sorry for poor description. Is there a way to get some of these chips working on Puppy Linux (Slacko Puppy 5.7).

Your D-Link will work in any recent Puppy. Run

Code: Select all

iwconfig
ifconfig wlan0 up
ifconfig
iwlist wlan0 scan

The Linksys will probably NOT work in any Puppy.

[Edit] I would skip Slacko 5.7. It has problems with some WiFi adapters.

Okay those commands didn't show me anything new :\ probably will change then to another puppy version.
--> EDIT: Changed to Puppy 5.6. It seemed to work now!
thanks!
