hi,
I've just done a fresh install of Sarge using kernel 2.6.8-2-386, and
now I'm trying to get a Prism2-based USB wifi adaptor working so I can
connect the machine to the network as a normal client.
My initial thought was to to 'apt-get install linux-wlan-ng' which went
fine, up to the point when I found out that there are no precompiled
binaries for linux-wlan-ng-modules on 2.6.8 yet.
So I then installed hostap-utils instead, which installed fine along
with hostap-modules. But this hasn't helped either - I don't know what
to do next.
Right now I'm at the stage where dmesg reports this when I plug the
adaptor in:
usb 1-1: USB disconnect, address 4
usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using address 5
usb 1-1: config 1 has an invalid interface number: 1 but max is 0
usb 1-1: config 1 has no interface number 0
'lsmod' lists hostap, but 'lsmod | grep prism2' lists nothing.
Should I stick to linux-wlan-ng (which I hear is being phased out of
2.6) or hostap? What should I do now?
Any help hugely appreciated.
Ta,
Dave
