Help on installing DWL-650+!!

Postby randall_wun » Mon Aug 13, 2007 6:34

Hi! Im new user of sabayon 3.4a and its the best distro for me! I just want to ask anyone who had already installed D-Link DWL-650+ successfully. I have trouble configuring it until now. After installing sabayon 3.4a my card was detected but I cant connect to the internet, i tried mad-wifi and acx drivers and last thing i installed was the WinXp driver for this card using ndiswrapper with no sucess :((... Kubuntu 6.06 and 6.10 versions recognized this card and ready to use with nothing to install or configure.. If no one knows the solution can anybody post a list of wifi cards that is compatible with sabayon that will work instantly with no drivers to install!! I will just sell this card and buy a new card that will work on my favorite OS sabayon straighjt from the box.

Most wifi cards is or using ndiswrapper it works.
Problem comes in when loading the ndiswrapper module and unloading the other modules.

Have a look at http://www.sabayonlinux.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8933

If after this you still have bugs then shout and we can see what can be done.
Also check the wiki on top of this page + gentoo.org / forum / wiki .

You should remember to unload the other wifi modules (modprobe -r something) or (rmmod something) and then "modprobe ndiswrapper"

99% of it is in that link for ndiswrapper + all the links at the bottom of the post.

Hope this helps.
