I have an Airlink Wireless USB 2.0 adaptor. Does it work with Linux? If
so - what do I have to do to make it work?
Thanks in advance.
Hello Marc,
I would try ndiswrapper (http://ndiswrapper.sf.net), because it is the
easiest way to run a USB Wireless LAN adapter. The ndiswrapper is a nice
driver, which allows to run Windows NDIS Driver under Linux. Therefore,
you can use the delivered Windows Driver to run your adapter under
Linux. I use for all my wireless adapter this kind of solution. But
maybe it exists a better way to run your adapter under Linux (separate
linux driver or so).
If you need help to install ndiswrapper you should take a look on the
project website.
Regards,
Jens

For some very obscure definition of 'nice'...
Avoid ndiswrapper, it is broken by design.

Thanks for all the (sleeping) penguins.
Hello Pavel,
'nice' is everything what works fine as a solution. Therefore, I would
say that the ndiswrapper is nice, if the case is that no Linux Driver is
available. And if you have no time or the knowledge (programming or chip
set information) to implement a driver by your own, then is the
ndiswrapper a good solution.
Yes, the design is not the best, but it works or not?! ;-)

Jens

Is it an AWLL3025 or an AWLL3026?
If so, it is based on the ZD1211 chip. You can download a community
maintained version of the vendor driver here: http://zd1211.ath.cx/
Or you can try the rewritten version which we aim to get included in
2.6.18 or 2.6.19: http://zd1211.ath.cx/wiki/DriverRewrite

Some people might define "nice" as better than nothing.

Hmm. So an atomic bomb is a nice solution to political problems, too?
But back to ndiswrapper: you cannot build anything you want to
distribute based on it. You won't get any help debugging problems with
it from regular kernel hackers. You won't even get help for
non-related problems if that stuff has ever been loaded into the
current kernel image from any kernel hacker.
So it's pretty far away from something you may consider for productive
use, isn't it?
