    Dwl-650+ wpa

    Hi,
    I have a DWL-650+ wireless PCMCIA adapter, supported by the acx driver. However, when the system boots and loads the driver, I see a stacktrace in dmesg, and it does not work.

    On the other hand, the TIACX or AIRPLUS Windows drivers via ndiswrapper do not support WPA, and the rest of my network uses WPA. The same drivers (AIRPLUS) work in Windows for WPA, but in Ubuntu, NetworkManager does not let me type in a WPA key, the choices are WEP, ..., LEAP. However, adding a key manually by "edit wireless networks" works; but the connectivity is like 2 secs connected, 5 secs disconnected, reconnecting...

    So, I am asking how to get WPA working on DWL-650+ (the ACX 100 22M Texas Instruments model)

    Oh, and in dmesg, ndiswrapper says that WPA with TKIP IS supported by the drivers.

    Dmesg for acx:

    I'm pretty sure that the DWL-650+ does not support WPA.

    Re: Dwl-650+ wpa

    My first post here...

    I'm a total ubuntu/linux newbie...
    I just installed ubuntu on my Gateway Solo 2150. Hoping it will be faster and better to web browse than Windows 2000.

    I also have the DWL-650+ PCMCIA wireless adapter.
    My problem is... the computer doesn't recognize it. It doesn't light up and the computer doesn't seem to know that it's there.

    Can someone point me to instructions or explain exactly what I have to do to make the system recognize and use the DWL-650+ PCMCIA wireless adapter? I did find a linux driver for it. I just don't know how to install it correctly.

    Thanks in advance,
    Chuck
