Hello! I posted this to the linux wireless list and have received not response. I thought maybe someone on the fedora list might have had some success. I just purchased a belkin wireless g usb adapter and am not having any luck getting it to work. The following is the output from various commands, if more info is needed then I will post it back. Distro: Fedora 7 Kernel: 2.6.22.4-65.fc7 I have created a ifcfg-wlan0 file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts with the following: GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 TYPE=Wireless DEVICE=wlan0 BOOTPROTO=static NETMASK=255.255.255.0 IPADDR=192.168.1.60 ONBOOT=yes USERCTL=yes IPV6INIT=no PEERDNS=yes ESSID=thedungeon CHANNEL=11 MODE=Managed RATE=Auto SECURITYMODE=open I have a keys-wlan0 file in that same directory with the wep key for my router. I set up a file named zd1211 in the /etc/modprobe.d/ directory with the following in it. alias wlan0 zd1211rw_mac80211 This is the output of dmesg immediately after inserting the usb adapter. usb 2-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7 usb 2-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice usb 2-2: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7 wmaster0: Failed to select rate control algorithm wmaster0: Failed to initialize rate control algorithm usb 2-2: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7 zd1211rw_mac80211: probe of 2-2:1.0 failed with error -2 usbcore: registered new interface driver zd1211rw_mac80211 This is the output of lsusb after inserting the adapter. Bus 002 Device 007: ID 050d:705c Belkin Components Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 001 Device 002: ID 15d9:0a33 Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 When I try the run ifup wlan0 this is the output. zd1211rw_mac80211 device wlan0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization. Every thing I have read indicates that this device is supported in linux, including the vendor and device id. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
Did this ever start working for you?
