    I noticed there was a 'linux' section under Downloads -- maybe there's something there you can use.

    Others (1)
    File Size 12.45 (MBytes)

    I downloaded the Linux drivers
    it has everything you need.
  • You need to check as to what type of wireless card you have. You listed the ethernet controller, not the wireless LAN card. To do that in Ubuntu open up the console and issue the command:

    sudo lshw -C network

    It will return information about your card types. You should see one listed with Wireless LAN controller in the list. That will tell you the type and then you can check specifically for which driver you need.

    Also, with Ubuntu if you go to "System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers" you can check for and install proprietary drivers...Ubuntu will handle all of that if it has the correct driver in the repository.

    If you want to use your Windows driver you can. Check the Ndiswrapper doc/howto in the Ubuntu community pages:

    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper

    Hope that helps!

    You may not have support compiled into the kernel..
    You may not be running the commands from root..
    tonjaa@tonjaa:~/ < root?

    to mount/umount a kernel module -- you need root.

    1. Unpack source code of WPA supplicant:
    tar -zxvf wpa_supplicant-0.3.8.tar.gz
    cd wpa_supplicant-0.3.8

    2. Create .config file:
    cp defconfig .config

    3. Edit .config file, uncomment the following line:
    #CONFIG_DRIVER_IPW=y.

    4. Build WPA supplicant:
    make

    -- you said you wanted to make it an 'access point' ?
    you need to cd /usr/src/linux-2.x.x.x
    ls -la | grep .config
    if that's a good config
    cp .config ../
    make mrproper && make distclean
    cp ../.config $PWD

    make oldconfig && make menuconfig

    -> Device Drivers -> Network Device Support ->
    look around.. you May find your driver or generic support : )
    'Wireless LAN support'.. might be worth doing this

    I have an Asus Mobo M2N32 Deluxe (wireless edition). When I purchased it I thought I could get the wifi working with Linux. It works like an access point, which I thought would be an interesting edition to my home network. I tried the 8187 driver (sorry, don't remember which one, but was never able to get it working properly. The disk that comes with the motherboard contains drivers, which I tried with ndiswrapper. I tried many 8187 drivers when using Debian and still didn't have luck. Maybe the Asus forums could help, but I think a Linux driver for this dongle is not available. Below is the info for the chip:

    Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0bda:8187 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8187 Wireless Adapter

    If anyone has any luck finding a driver that works with this, please let me know, I'd be happy to try it out.

    on Ubuntu i try to install ndiswrapper by command
    sudo apt-get install ndisgtk
    and i find driver windows .inf for Realtek RTL8187 at first time
    i think it's PCI type but i wrong. i find on web
    http://rtl8180-sa2400.sourceforge.net/ it's tell spec is USB.
    and i find driver from web
    http://www.nodevice.com/driver/company/RealTek.html
    then i add driver from windows wireless driver it's can use
    in ad-hoc mode but it not have access point mode for choose .
    i think it's ok . even through it's not good same use program on
    windows i hope next time Linux can use all program from windows
    thank you .;)

    It will return information about your card types. You should see one listed with Wireless LAN controller in the list. That will tell you the type and then you can check specifically for which driver you need.
