AirLive WL 1600 USB - problem
Hi everyone,
I am using a Linux Mint 13 x64 KDE.The drivers which are included in this system does not work properly so I decided to install ndiswrapper. I installed driver, added rtl8187 to black list but when I try to load ndiswrapper nothing happens.
Code:
dmesg | grep ndis [ 19.313646] ndiswrapper version 1.57 loaded (smp=yes, preempt=no)

Let's have a look at some additional diagnostics:
Code:
lsusb
ndiswrapper -l
ls /etc/ndiswrapper
Thanks.

Re: AirLive WL 1600 USB - problem
Let's make sure rtl8187 is indeed not loaded and therefor properly blacklisted:I assume you do have a 64-bit system:Where did the .inf file come from? Is it a Windows XP file?
Re: AirLive WL 1600 USB - problem
The *.inf file comes from AirLive page and it's Windows XP file.
When I wrote in console nothing showed up.
Re: AirLive WL 1600 USB - problem
My favorite kind of problem: everything looks perfect except it doesn't work!
Let's be sure ndiswrapper loads on boot.
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/modules
If ndiswrapper isn't already in there, add it as a single word at the end. Proofread, save and close gedit. Reboot. Now run:
Code:
dmesg | grep -e 818 -e ndis
iwconfig
Thanks.
Re: AirLive WL 1600 USB - problem
I opened /etc/modules by
and ndiswrapper was already there.
Code:
grep -e 818 -e ndis

It seems that my card isn't loaded because it's wlan1.

What?? If wlan0 is showing up, and you think it's your internal device, then it could only be that rtl8187 is loading and not effectively blacklisted. However, we don't see that in dmesg. Let's dig even deeper in the warp core. Please let us see:

I have one WiFi card in my laptop but I need to install the AirLive.
