Hello Vincent, many thanks for your respond. I installed the latest xubuntu hardy.... 8... I load down the ndisgtk-package from the url you told me and received a WinZiP-tar-file. After I have copied this zip-archive to my filesystem I unpacked it. Okay, a lot of files, but whow does the show go on. As greenhorn I missed something like <setup.exe>. Synaptic does not find and display this files. Please help me by given me simple instructions to solve my problem. Otherwise, my understanding of the linux-architecture tells me, that the systemconfiguration is done with simple textfiles in the related directonaries. (/etc/interfaces and so on). Welcome back to DOS? Why doesn't exist a supportline, where fools like me can find examples of running and tested entries in this files. I'm a certified IBM - specialist for i-series and LotusDomino/Notes. I installed a lot of dominoservers on Linuxsystems like SUSE and REDHAT. Why xubuntu is so difficult????? May it be, that the linux-community loss the ideas of linus thorwald and working hard to develop legions of distributions where anyone runs correctly? I'm ready for bungee-jumping - without the carbontie. Regards hannah josephine dippe PS: From Fedora over xubuntu until redhat, all these distributions are copies of the new WindowsVISTA. The installation of VISTA, controlled remote by microsoft, is done within 50 minutes. <table width=100%> <tr valign=top> <td width=40%>Vincent <imnotb@gmail.com> Gesendet von: xubuntu-users-bounces@lists.ubuntu.com 21.05.2008 12:40 <table border> <tr valign=top> <td bgcolor=white> <div align=center>Bitte antworten zu Xubuntu Help and User Discussions <xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com></div></table> <td width=59%> <table width=100%> <tr> <td> <div align=right>An</div> <td valign=top>"Xubuntu Help and User Discussions" <xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com> <tr> <td> <div align=right>Kopie</div> <td valign=top> <tr> <td> <div align=right>Thema</div> <td valign=top>Re: [xubuntu-users] How to run DWL-510 Wlandevice</table> <table> <tr valign=top> <td> <td></table> </table> On Wed, May 21, 2008 at 11:58 AM, <<a href="mailto:hannah@hannah-and-friends.de">hannah@hannah-and-friends.de</a>> wrote: Hello since monday I try to configure an DWL-510 to make it run. What I've done until no: 1. Installed "ndiswrapper" - packet from xubuntu-CD. successfull 2. Installed driver from DLink-CD ?? Try installing "ndisgtk" first: <a href="http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=ndisgtk&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all">http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=ndisgtk&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all</a> (You can find it in Applications->System->Add/Remove... by looking for "Windows Wireless Drivers". That should help you installing the drivers from the CD. Also, which version of Xubuntu are you using? The command <iwconfig> shows this: loop back ok. wlan0 IEEE802.11b ESSID:off/any Nickname "HAF01" Mode: Auto Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated Bit Rate: 11 Mb/s Tx Power: 20 dBm Sensitivity=0/3 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Link Quality=0 Signal level=0 Noise level=0 Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 The device is also present in: applications>system>network and can be edited. The changes takes no effect to the displayed result of iwconfig. This morning I tried to change the parameters by <sudo iwconfig wlan0 ...> Some changes become true, other changes false. My wlan is running good, connects 3 Windows-Computers and give all of them access to the internet. See the configuration settings below: ESSID: "HAF" AP-Name: "HAF01" - <a href=http://192.168.10.20/ target=_blank>192.168.10.20</a> Mode: "Managed" Encrypt: "Yes" - 128 bit / WEP Key01: "ascii" - (...........) The device may be not correctly embedded to the system. So I can not choose it, to bind pppoe for an internet-connection. I'm a greenhorn in xubuntu and installed it becauseII I have to execute a training about it for some people in my organisation.
