The NetGtks.inf confirms that Windows uses its prism2 driver for your card (search for 3642 in it). > As you can see both company's IDs are in there so your ID theory is > probably correct but it would still be nice to know what to put into > /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules in case one wants try with a > corrected ID -- or should I file a udev bug for them not providing a way > or documenting it. You can trick udev into loading another module when your card is inserted, but this module will not recognize your card. The key here is the modules.usbmap in your kernel directory. I can for instance do this: grep 3642 /lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic/modules.usbmap and I only get a prism2_usb hit. This list is generated from the driver source files. > P.S., these just get over and over... > modprobe prism2_usb > ifconfig wlan0 up > SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address > > wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=disable > message=lnxreq_ifstate > ifstate=disable > resultcode=success > > wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=enable > CTLX[1] error: state(Request failed) > cmd_initialize() failed on two attempts, results -5 and -5 > hfa384x_drvr_start() failed,result=-5 Make sure that you do "modprobe -r prism2_usb" first to remove it before loading it again, and that you try disable/enable just after the modprobe (do not run ifconfig). Please attach the full dmesg output afterwards. > I can confirm that this > http://www.sparklan.com/download.php?prod_id=119 --> > HEAD http://www.sparklan.com/downloadSupport.php?support_id=89 > Content-Length: 3550323 > DriverWindows_WL-382F_v1[1].2.2.66.zip > is the exact file that my windows buddy set me up with and that works > back in town. And I wish to thank you in advance for having a look at > it to see what it does right that you don't... Maybe it even does a ID switch. The package from sparklan probably ships both prism2 and atmel drivers. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
