US ROBOTICS USR805411 802.11g MaxG PC Card

  • Chipset: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 AirForce One 54g 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
  • pciid: 14e4:4318
  • Driver: I could not extract the USR driver so I used BCMWL5a.inf driver from Acer Aspire 5002. Currently tested successfully without encryption on Suse 10 using Suse provided ndiswrapper package
  • Driver: I, on the other hand, was able to extract the USR driver from the CD. Run usrsetup.exe through Wine and it’ll give you a couple of .cab files you can use (the installer itself will fail). I chose to install USRMAXG.inf, but I think USRMAXGa.inf would work just as well. Works just fine. Gentoo Linux, 2.6.14 kernel, ndiswrapper 1.5 from Portage.

Info

WPA(2)-PSK works with both USRMAXGa.inf and BCMWL5a.inf using wpa_supplicant-0.4.8 (ndiswrapper-1.2,vanilla-2.6.13 Slackware 10.2/Suse 9.3)

I was able to extract ALL of the above listed drivers by going to: http://www.usr.com/support/product-template.asp?prod=5411 - and extracting the “5411-na-1.00.022.exe” file using WinXP. A “US Robotics” directory is created under C:\Program Files. All of the Drivers and INF files are in the “MAXg Sure Start Installer” directory. USRMAXGa.inf works on 2.4.22 Slackware 10.1 (But “times out” when not in use for several minutes).
