hi,
To write this email I'm using Suse linux 11.4 with the ndiswrapper package for
a windows driver for my wireless adapter. The rest of this email refers to the
latest version of Debian linux.
I've downloaded and installed the latest version of Debian linux - on a
separate partition with dual-boot - and am trying to get a Debian driver for my
wireless LAN adapter to work. It's based on the Marvell chipset 88w8338. Here's
the output from lsusb:
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 1286:1fab Marvell Semiconductor, Inc. 88W8338 [Libertas]
802.11g
output from dmesg:
adrian@home:~> cat debian-dmesg.txt | grep "usb 1-7" [ 17.653166] usb 1-7:
new high-speed USB device number 4 using ehci_hcd[ 17.855860] usb 1-7: New
USB device found, idVendor=1286, idProduct=1fab[ 17.871647] usb 1-7: New USB
device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0[ 17.887432] usb 1-7:
Product: MARVELL Wireless Device V1.0.1.2[ 17.903208] usb 1-7: Manufacturer:
MARVELL
What's missing from the package contents
page:https://packages.debian.org/squeeze-backports/firmware-libertas
is a reference to 8338 as a driver code.
Can this be fixed please?
thanks,
Adrian

This is a support question, not a bug report.
(It looks the answer is no, anyway.)
