Brinley: Created page with '{{Device_Report|Alfa awus036h|Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8187 wireless adapter|0bda:8187|netrtuw from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/alfanetwork/files/Driver/RTL8187L_Win_0…'

{{Device_Report|Alfa awus036h|Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8187 wireless adapter|0bda:8187|netrtuw from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/alfanetwork/files/Driver/RTL8187L_Win_08292013.zip/download}}

The native linux rtl8187 driver, which loads automatically with this device, continually loses network connectivity particularly with large file transfers. I've tried it with Debian testing, Debian unstable, Arch, and PCLOS, and had similar results with all installations. I couldn't find a proprietary Linux driver for a kernel later than 3.3. The alfanetwork download includes a folder for windows xp x86 driver. It contains two .inf files: net8187b.inf and Netrtuw.inf, and two .sys files: rtl8187.sys and rtl8187B.sys. A combination of net8187b.inf and rtl8187B.sys doesn't work. A combination of Netrtuw.inf and rtl8187.sys works perfectly. (I tried each combination by copying just the .inf and .sys files to a separate folder and installing the .inf file into ndiswrapper.) Strong, fast connection and no loss of connectivity even with very large file transfers. I had to blacklist the linux rtl8187 driver to keep it from automatically reloading. I'm using 3.4.52-pclos1 kernel.

* Chipset: NETGEAR, Inc

* Driver: I used the CD, but NETGEAR doesn\'t have an official driver download for the A6200

==Info==
I tried to use the .inf file from the windows cd, but the adapter would not light up or
anything, but I tried using the .inf from this http://www.mediafire.com/?od9wpw6ccrnyhaa and
it worked. The problem is if it tries to download a file at a high download rate, the connection
will drop. Don\'t know if this is related to ndiswrapper or the driver I used.

'''There is no need any more for custom compilation, it is already done in the current version(1.57) of ndiswrapper.'''

If you install cd that comes with the adapter on Windows 64 bit machine,
files of the driver is installed to C:\Program Files (x86)\NETGEAR\driver\WIN764 and its name is bcmwlhigh6.

If you install it on 32 bit, you will already get correct driver, bcmwlhigh5.

[http://dl.dropbox.com/u/32258336/ndis_bcmwl.zip bcmwlhigh5] works under ndiswrapper.
However driver may not be loaded by default or matching with device may be wrong.
If this is the case, when you list installed drivers, you will see an output similar to this:

felmas@fachoper:~$ ndiswrapper -l
bcmwlhigh5: driver installed

You won't see this line after above output:

device (0846:9020) present

To fix it, you should run:
felmas@fachoper:~$ ndiswrapper -a 0846:9020 bcmwlhigh5

Moreover, driver can require some configuration.

felmas@fachoper:~$ dmesg -c
Jan 15 17:12:28 fachoper kernel: [67654.005971] ndiswrapper (iw_set_freq:437): setting configuration failed (00010003)

In my case, I checked correct values in another machine that is already connected.

<nowiki>felmas@veteran:~$ iwconfig

eth0 no wireless extensions.

When I checked the values of WNA3100, I saw its Tx-Power is around 42 dBm and other parameters are correctly set.

felmas@fachoper:~$ iwconfig wlan tx 15

Then, it worked.

felmas@fachoper:~$ dmesg -c

Another important parameter is power management, being off is better because when you start a high load traffic,
you can get disconnected due to power issues.

Brinley: Realtek variant working

==Belkin 54g Wireless Desktop Network Card (F5D7000UK)==

* Chipset: Broadcom BCM4306
* pciid: 14e4:4320
* Driver: Standard Belkin driver on their CD. File is BCMWL5.INF
----

* Chipset: Ralink RT2500 802.11 Cardbus Reference Card (rev 01)
* pciid: 1814:0201
* Driver: Ndiswrapper 1.1 and Rt2500.INF file from ftp://ftp.a-link.com/wl54h/WL54driver2.2.6.0.zip

----

* Chipset: Realtek RTL8185L ver. 7200
* pciid: 1799:700f (Belkin Unknown device 700f (rev 20))
* Driver: Ndiswrapper 1.45, driver from CD - blkwgdv7

==Info on Broadcom variant==
Just added this so that people know that the UK variation can be used. I used the standard belkin driver, but you need to install it to somewhere in windows to extract the relevant sys and inf files. Works like a charm with fedora core 2 and fedora core 3 (though with fc3 you will need to download the kernel source rpm as it doesn’t come with the standard package).

Finally works on my system (the card says “version 1133uk”, Debian woody, kernel 2.4.28, ndiswrapper 0.11, Dell drivers, hand-compiled wirless-tools v27). Here are a few hints if you’re having trouble:
# try different combinations of ndiswrapper version and driver (Belkin, Dell).
# make sure wireless extension version of your wireless-tools matches the one of ndiswrapper (Debian woody wireless-tools were too old, iwconfig wouldn’t work), see http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.htm for more information.
# wireless won’t work if your machine also has another network card connected to the same network.

Works like a charm on this Mandrake 10.1 system here, I was very pleasantly surprised. Just followed the instructions in the docs and it worked! Used the Mandrake configuration tools for wireless network setup (Control Centre → Network & Internet → Manage Connections, select the wireless card).

==Info on Ralink variant==
Debian stable Sarge (2.4.27-2-386) works a treat. I followed the “InstallDebianSarge” instructions which were great. In the end however, I didn’t need the “Install latest Ndiswrapper” section as version 1.1 comes already available. Also, needed unzip utility (apt-get install unzip). Cheers!.

==Info on Realtek variant==

Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), but installed under 7.04 by uninstalling supplied version using instructions on this site, and installing latest version. Didn’t work properly (crashed system) until upgrade, so suspect kernel issues. Now using 2.6.22-14.

Jim reports, I can't get this card to work, as it spawns a mp_reset:62 message every few seconds and freezes the system. I've tried it in Ubuntu Intrepid and Jaunty and it works in neither.

---
Driver: blkwgdv (F5D7000 Driver Version 7 from Belkin web site)
ndiswrapper version: 1.58

'''Update''' This card was causing a system lock up but I managed to get it working.

Firstly, I updated my Linux kernel to the most recent one available to me (in my case a
Debian Squeeze backported kernel) and downloaded the the testing version of
ndiswrapper.

If you are getting a system lock (you may also be seeing \'alternate driver: rtl8180\' when
you run \'ndiswrapper -l\'), then blacklist the rtl8180 kernel module. That should put a stop
to the crashing.

If it still isn\'t working (even though the driver might appear to be installed properly in
ndiswrapper), first run \'ndiswrapper -v\' and make sure it isn\'t complaining about the
wrong utils version. Then, work through this excellent ndiswrapper troubleshooting
guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=885847

Those were the steps that I followed and should hopefully help others.

[http://dl.dropbox.com/u/32258336/ndis_bcmwl.zip bcmwlhigh5] works under ndiswrapper.
However driver may not be loaded by default or matching with device may be wrong.
If this is the case, when you list installed drivers, you will see an output similar to this:

felmas@fachoper:~$ ndiswrapper -l
bcmwlhigh5: driver installed

You won't see this line after above output:

device (0846:9020) present

To fix it, you should run:
felmas@fachoper:~$ ndiswrapper -a 0846:9020 bcmwlhigh5

Moreover, driver can require some configuration.

felmas@fachoper:~$ dmesg -c
Jan 15 17:12:28 fachoper kernel: [67654.005971] ndiswrapper (iw_set_freq:437): setting configuration failed (00010003)

In my case, I checked correct values in another machine that is already connected.

<nowiki>felmas@veteran:~$ iwconfig

eth0 no wireless extensions.

When I checked the values of WNA3100, I saw its Tx-Power is around 42 dBm and other parameters are correctly set.

felmas@fachoper:~$ iwconfig wlan tx 15

Then, it worked.

felmas@fachoper:~$ dmesg -c

Another important parameter is power management, being off is better because when you start a high load traffic,
you can get disconnected due to power issues.

Belkin F7D04101v1

2011-12-27T10:26:21Z

Brinley: Update from Paolo Parisen Toldin

{{Device_Report|Belkin Play F7D04101 v1|Broadcom 4323|050d:615a|stock in the original CD}}

After so many tests in a 64bit system on which I received kernel senseless (at least for me) falls of numbers and letters I re-installed
my original 32bit (with PAE for full memory access) and the original stock driver works like a charm.

I think the main reason for that panic is that WINXP drivers are 32bit ONLY and so on 64bit system no Belkin play can do ndiswrapper :)

Of course if someone finds the driver maybe it can work but the original one is perfect for linux 32bit.

Some notes on my distribution/hardware:

Linux Gentoo 2.6.39-gentoo-r3 #1 SMP i686 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E6750 @ 2.66GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

==64bit update==
The driver in the cdrom don't work on 64 bit machine as the driver is just 32 bit.

If you download that package at

http://media.cdn.ubuntu-de.org/forum/attachments/2612284/Broadcom_bcm43xx_USB_32_64bit_v2.tar.gz

you will find the 64bit version of driver.
By adding with ndiswrapper, everything works.

While adding in ndsiwrapper, the system could give you some error.
Don't worry about it. it works.

my system:
Linux 3.0.6-gentoo7 #6 SMP PREEMPT x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm)X2 DualCore QL-64 AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

This device is reported to work on i386 (see report below) but no successful report on x86_64.

This is Ubuntu 10.10 on an AMD x86_64.

Plugged the device in, and saw it appear in lsusb, and a message appears in /var/log/messages

new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and addresss 11

But iwconfig shows no wlan0.

Downloaded the Linux drivers from Edimax (the Realtek drivers).
They build, but with lots of warnings relating to 64 vs 32 bit stuff.
The module loads, but does not work. Lots of errors appear in /var/log/messages,
mostly "usb read/wrote TimeOut!"
Wrote to Realtek support asking them to fix this, haven't heard back.

Similar story, no apparent solution: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1658112

So unloaded the 8192cu module, blacklisted it in in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf Then installed ndiswrapper, and got the Windows drivers from the Edimax site.
There are 32 and 64 bit versions for Win7 Vista and XP. Tried XP 64 first,
then the other 64 bit ones, then the 32 bit ones. They load

$ ndiswrapper -l
net8192cu: device (7392:7811) present (alternate driver: 8192cu)

but iwconfig shows no wlan0

<hr>

It is possible to use WinXP 32bit drivers from Edimax site -- but only g mode is available (tested on Fedora 15 i386). Native driver rtl8192cu also loads, but card doesn't see my access points (tested on D-Link DWL-2100, TP-Link TL-WR1043ND with WPA2-PSK CCMP/CCMP).

There's a bunch of stuff in the .zip file mentioned above. NDISWrapper + .../Drivers/XP/32-bit/arusb_xp.inf worked the first time. This dongle was flakey (dropped connections) with the native driver included in the Ubuntu 10.1 distro. I did not try the Linux driver included in the GWU623.zip file.

Brinley: Report from Stephan Menzel

{{Device_Report|TP-Link TL-W310G|?|?|?}}

I got the XP driver for the TL-W310G installed via ndiswrapper and the interface seems to work.
Unfortunately until now I was not able to connect to my own WPA2-encrypted network.
I use ubuntu 8.04 (yet command line).

Belkin F9L1101v1

Brinley: Report from Florian Lengyel

{{Device_Report| F9L1101 N600 DB Wireless Dual-Band USB Adapter|Broadcom BCM4323|050d:615a|http://cache-www.belkin.com/support/dl/F9L1101v1_setup.exe bcmwlhigh5.inf}}

The driver installation disk that comes with the N600 should be
used to install the bcmwlhigh5.inf driver. I have not tried the
setup.exe. Instead, I mounted the disk on my iMac, changed
directories to the InstallationFiles/drivers and zipped the xp directory.
I then transferred the resulting xp.zip file to my MSI U100 netbook,
and unzipped the xp.zip folder. I followed this procedure since I do not
have a CD-ROM drive on my netbook. Of course, if you can mount the
disk on your machine, zipping and unzipping the directory is not needed.
Run sudo ndisgtk, browse to the (unzipped) xp folder, select bcmwlhigh5.inf
and install the driver. It worked for me under Ubuntu 11.04.

Siemens Gigaset USB 108

2011-07-16T13:24:10Z

Brinley: /* Info */

==SIEMENS GIGASET USB 108 ADAPTER==
* Chipset : Atheros 5523
* usbid: 129b:160b 129b:160c
* Drivers: athfmwdl + net5523 (both needed) from CD provided with device

==Info==
129b:160b has been tested with ndiswrapper 1.8; WEP restricted mode 802.11g (54 MB/S) works; WPA don’t work; 108 MB/s don’t work

Also for 129b:160b, this work indicates good performance of the SIEMENS GIGASET 108 USB ADAPTER in combination with the driver which comes with the NETGEAR WG111T USB adapter.
This work did not use the driver which comes with the CDROM. Good signal strength with 54 Mb/s. Present work cannot test 108 Mb/s due to net limitations.

Download this driver from ftp://ftp.netgear.de/download/WG111T/WG111T_GRV1.2.zip. This driver comes with two sets of .inf and .sys files: athfmwdl and netwg111t. Both of these must be installed with their *.inf files. After that, ndiswrapper-1.7 can be used as in the case of other drivers

Encryption: WPA-PSK (TKIP) works for this driver installation with the version wpa_supplicant-0.4.7.

129b:160c has been tested with ndiswrapper 1.10; WPA works; 108 MB/s seems to work, too.

there is also a newer driver version here:
http://kbserver.netgear.com/de-support/wg111t.html
ftp://ftp.netgear.de/download/files/wg111t_2_1_setup.exe

----

I tested WG111T_GRV1.2.zip and they don't work on Siemens 108 usb
adapter under '''Fedora 14'''.

I found original Siemens drivers and they work like a charm.

Here they are located:
http://gigaset.com/hq/en/product/GIGASETUSBADAPTER108.html?tab=downloads

to install Siemens driver just do this:
wget http://gigaset.com/medias/sys_master/usb_adapter_108_V2025_eng.exe
mkdir siemens_108_usb_adapter
mv usb_adapter_108_V2025_eng.exe siemens_108_usb_adapter
cd siemens_108_usb_adapter
unzip usb_adapter_108_V2025_eng.exe
cd Driver/Driver\ For\ Win2000\ XP/
su
yum install ndiswrapper
ndiswrapper -i net5523.inf

D-Link DWL-G122 rev F1

2011-06-25T04:46:30Z

Brinley:

{{Device_Report|D-Link DWL-G122, Hardware Version: F1 (rev F1)|Realtek RTL8192su (Unverified, but works); lsusb output: "Bus 001 Device 002: ID 2001:3306 D-Link Corp.[hex]"|2001:3306|ftp://WebUser:7p5XTFw@152.104.238.19/cn/wlan/RTL8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.6.0.20110401.zip (Look for "RTL8192su" on www.realtek.com.tw, download the linux driver); Native driver, compiles directly to kernel module.}}

Well, I tried ndiswrapper at first, using the original windows driver
provided with the product. It did seem to work at first, displaying
the device, allowing me to scan and connect and all, but kept
reconnecting, and failed altogether after a while, meaning that it
won't successfully connect to any wifi network. Also, the LED
indicator on the device (which should be a steady green when
connected) flashed very slowly, indicating an endless loop of
reconnects.

Later the day, I came across a tutorial aimed at the device, providing
a means of using the linux driver provided by the chipset
manufacturer. The original link is
'http://forum.ubuntu.org.cn/viewtopic.php?f=116&t=323374' (WARNING: It
is in Chinese). Once the compiled kernel modules is loaded, the device
works perfectly, except the signal strength kept switching between
"Excellent" and "Poor" when in fact it is "Poor".

Ubuntu 11.04. The device seems to work somehow with rt2800usb and little better with rt2870sta. Both native drivers suffers from reliability problem: connection drops for several seconds at about every 120s. I tried WinXPX64 driver (as i am running x86_64). The ndisiwrapper loaded ok and network was working. After a while system crashed (for the first time in several months). Reboot and re-try and after 15min usage yet another crash.

Brinley: Report from Steve White

{{Device_Report|Edimax EW-7811Un|RTL8188CUS|7392:7811|}}

This is Ubuntu 10.10 on an AMD x86_64.

Plugged the device in, and saw it appear in lsusb, and a message appears in /var/log/messages

new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and addresss 11

But iwconfig shows no wlan0.

Downloaded the Linux drivers from Edimax (the Realtek drivers).
They build, but with lots of warnings relating to 64 vs 32 bit stuff.
The module loads, but does not work. Lots of errors appear in /var/log/messages,
mostly "usb read/wrote TimeOut!"
Wrote to Realtek support asking them to fix this, haven't heard back.

Similar story, no apparent solution: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1658112

SoL unloaded the 8192cu module, blacklisted it in in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf Then installed ndiswrapper, and got the Windows drivers from the Edimax site.
There are 32 and 64 bit versions for Win7 Vista and XP. Tried XP 64 first,
then the other 64 bit ones, then the 32 bit ones. They load

$ ndiswrapper -l
net8192cu: device (7392:7811) present (alternate driver: 8192cu)

==Trendnet TEW-643PI Wireless 802.11 bdgn==
* Chipset: rtl8190P
* pciid: 10ec:8190
* Driver: Win 2000 driver http://www.trendnet.com/downloads/list_subcategory.asp?SUBTYPE_ID=1258 (has winvista winxp and win2000 drivers in same zip)
* Driver: http://downloads.trendnet.com/tew-643pi/driver_utility/utilitytew-641pc_643pi.zip (Drivers/Windows XP/x86/net819xp.inf)

==Info==

XP driver did not work for a 64bit pristine Debian Squeeze
system, but works smooth with 32bit

---

ndis was doing something weird, every time i tried to wrap the driver, ndis would give me the options available to it. not sure how i got it to quit doing that, or if it was even me. tried winxp winvista and win2000 drivers only one worked was 2000.

---

I needed to apply a work-around to get this device
up under a 32-bit SMP kernel. It appears that when an
ndiswrapper kernel thread is scheduled to a different CPU
the device hangs. You can usually pump about 100-200Mb full
bore before this occurs. (This sound familiar)? If you
lock the threads down to one CPU the device stays up. Under
a 64-bit kernel, the ntos_wq thread causes a kernel oops and
hangs the machine, usually within 5-6 seconds. (It might be
related, but I didn't do this affinity test on 64-bit).

The work around is QCD on gentoo using /etc/conf.d/local.start:
schedtool -a 0 `ps -e | grep _wq | gawk '{print $1}'`

The same behaviour was observed using all three
preemption models. More SMP investigation is obviously
needed, but at the least, the code could lock its own
threads down as a quick band-aid.

2 CPUs, i686 AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 215 Processor
