D-Link N300 on Warry 5.5

#1 Post by s243a »

I'm trying to use the D-Link Wireless N300 USB Adapter (Version 5.11) on an older computer, running Warry 5.5. There is supposed to be an option to load the drive from a windows .inf file. I tried installing the drive located in /WinXP2k/net8192su.inf on the CD which contains the following:

I'm able to load the drive r (8192s.usb was given in the message box as an alternative drive). When the drive was loaded it told me that 07D1: 3300 was present
However, Warry was not able to detect the drive interface. I know the USB port works because it works with a flash drive.

-------

On a related note on another linux form someone (post #246) is saying how to install the driver from source, for ubuntu. Could I do something like this on Warry? What should I read learn how to do this?

on another note it listed 8192s.usb as an alternative drive. I did not see this alternative drive as one of the options of drives that I can load.

Your adapter appears to be a D-Link DWA-130-E1 [07D1:3300]. In Wary 5.5, it is supported by the r8192s_usb driver. But this driver has been replaced by the stable r8712u in newer kernels like in Racy 5.5.

So it is unclear if your problem is due to the old driver or your network manager. Try the following.

1. Unplug/replug your adapter.

2. Run the command: lsmod. Is r8192s_usb loaded?

3. Run iwconfig. Is an interface like wlan0 listed?

4. Run ifconfig wlan0 up What happens?

5. Run iwlist wlan0 scan What happens?

could be useful.

Thankyou :) That worked. I ran your commands, and then once I realized that wlan0 was up, I went back to the connection wizard. I then went to the manual configuration wizard, and configured wlan0 with the right password and stuff.
