Peak WPG2400

[Twey]

Any information on how to set this up?
Just got one... didn't think to check compatibility first >.< Is it possible?

lspci finds it:
02:06.0 Network controller: Texas Instruments ACX 111 54Mbps Wireless Interface

Got 'er set up with ndiswrapper... however, ifup wlan0 gives:
Determining IP information for wlan0... failed; no link present. Check cable?

Oho. Thank you. I saw ndiswrapper supported it and didn't look further

Trial #50395:

[root@delaral twey]# ~twey/Downloads/acx100-0.2.0pre8_plus_fixes_57/scripts/start_net
using wlan0.
Module successfully inserted.
Setting rate to 54M auto.
Setting channel 11.
Going to try to join or setup ESSID any.
Setting mode to Managed.
Setting power LED to off.
Waiting for association...10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 FAILED.
Error: wlan0 failed to associate, can't use DHCP for IP address.
Interface has been set up successfully.

It hasn't, however.

/EDIT: This happens both with the firmware off the CD and http://www.houseofcraig.net/acx_firmware.tar.bz2.

I don't have that... I do have FwRad16.bin, but copying that and renaming it doesn't help. I then get:

using wlan0.
Module successfully inserted.
Error: Failed to create device: wlan0...bailing.

ndiswrapper is an ugly hack to get most wireless cards working under linux, it is better to use native drivers if they exist.

Unfortunatly I can't help you with your error.

[Twey]

Yes indeed... but I didn't know they did exist.
I'll take note and look harder for natives next time
(apart from the fact that next time I'm getting an Atheros. madwifi here I come. Ah well.)
