| − | Usage:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Every time you start or restart system, ignore the "no connection" icon status, and open a terminal window. Type this:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | sudo dhclient
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Authenticate your password and exit the terminal window.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The reason for this is, it helps ndiswrapper get DHCP assignment from router. Otherwise, it will search and search and never connect, even if you have all else correctly configured.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | As to configuring router, I found no problem. It's okay to go ahead with WPA2 AES, N function by itself, and MAC address filtering.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Also when you start your browser, do get it out of "Offline Mode". You may have to do this as often as you start or restart the browser. Hit File at top menu, uncheck "Offline Mode". Then go where you need to go.

| − | If anyone has a way to streamline this process, please contribute. Meanwhile, the extra steps are well worth the effort. This card is very fast.
