Linksys WMP600N Wireless Nic

  • Chipset: RaLink RT2800 802.11n PCI chipset
  • Device ID: 1102:4001
  • Driver: download from cisco.com

Info

Using the rt2806 64 bit Windows XP driver. (http://homedownloads.cisco.com/downloads/driver/WMP600N_XP_1_1_4_3_0.zip).

All I had to do was install ndiswrapper, unzip the driver, and go to the ./WinXP64 directory and do a:

ndiswrapper -i ./rt2806.inf

Then the modules.conf file was updated (if it uses that) with a update-modules command. Essentially it puts:

alias wlan0 ndiswrapper

in /etc/modprobe.conf.

However, as of kernel 2.6.34, this no longer works...at least with ndiswrapper-1.5.6. The ndiswrapper module crashes and locks my entire system.
