I have a a USB wireless adapter that uses prism_usb, but I cannot set up the driver manually using it. I doubt it's a driver problem, though. > To end, the adapter SMC2662W is an USB adapter, and > I am using Mandrake 10.1. Ah. I hid a similar problem. I installed a wireless USB NIC on a machine, then had to reinstall 10.1 after a nasty power outage. After the re-install, I had a very tough time getting it to configure. What I ended up doing was using Mandrake Control Center to set it up as a LAN connection (not WLAN!). It spotted the USB NIC fine. Then to get it working on my network, I used a small app called wlanfe which allows you to configure the wireless connection. That got it completely working. Then, once it was working, active connection, I went back to mcc, added a real wlan connection, and mcc found it just fine. I can't remember if I set up the wireless stuff at that point or had to go to manage connections after that. But that was the basic procedure: add it as a lan connection, get the connection actually working with wlanfe, then re-add the connection as a wlan connection, and optionally configure it with Manage Connections if need be.
