Thanks for your hack-help. Now everything is ok It isn't that much of a hack - the ifconfig is fairly standard for manually starting a network interface - if you go manual, you have to do ifconfig/iwconfig/iwlist all the way. If you had chosen to run NetworkManager instead, wpa_supplicant would be started by NetworkkManager automatically, ifconfig is also run by NetworkManager, and all you do instead is put the iwconfig ESSID info into networkmanager's applet GUI - that's how it is supposedly to work for most end-users. -- The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com ___ Zd1211-devs mailing list - http://zd1211.wiki.sourceforge.net/ Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/zd1211-devs

Sure ifconfig is a very usual command. But in this thread I've learned that is ifconfig who, in some usb cards, loads the firmware needed. -- The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com___ Zd1211-devs mailing list - http://zd1211.wiki.sourceforge.net/ Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/zd1211-devs
[zd1211-devs] Problem with Telefonica USB wifi adapter
Hi, I'm trying to use a wifi usb device in Kubuntu Karmic (9.10). Info of the hardware system: * lsusb ID 083a:e501 Accton Technology Corp. ZD1211B * dmesg: zd1211rw 2-2:1.0: zd1211 chip 083a:e501 v4810 high 00-1a-2a AL223 * uname -a: 2.6.31-17-generic #54-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 10 17:01:44 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux Following your instructions, I do: modprobe zd1211rw echo 083a e501 0 0 1/sys/bus/usb/drivers/zd1211rw/new_id and a new interface wlan1 appears. But: * It doesn't associate to the AP: iwconfig essid MYESSID key s:MYASCIIKEY * It's unable to scan: iwlist wlan1 scan wlan1 Interface doesn't support scanning : Device or resource busy Apart from this, I'm using another PCI wifi card, wlan0, with ath5k module and it goes ok. I'll try to use ndiswrapper, but I prefer the native mode so, any help will be appreciated; write me if you want me to do any test.
