wlan driver

[wregis]

Recently I have acquired a microboard computer, ultimate black one ( http://www.microboard.com.br/ultimate-black/ ) and installed fodora 12 on it.
It has a wlan card assembled by 3DSP (http://www.3dsp.com.cn/).

I've found some drivers to download on the manufacturer website, but the drivers are for ubuntu, then I tryed to install it manually and got just error messages. I don't know if I am doing this by the right way.

Clound anyone help me, It could be a tutorial or a rpm package.

Hello wregis,

Well, if the wireless device is known to work in Ubuntu, then it probably can be made to work in Fedora, too. I don't know anything about the hardware you described, but maybe the wireless card uses a common chipset. That's what determines the driver anyway. Take a moment to run these commands in a Fedora terminal and post the results. It may help someone think of something to tell you to do.

lspci -nn | grep -i -e network -e wireless
lsusb

A couple of things. You may need to install

(hopefully you have a wired connection)

yum install gcc gcc-c++ make automake kernel-devel

(If it's not a 64 bit chipset, than possibly kernel-PAE-devel, depending upon the results of

uname -r

If there's a PAE in there, then grab kernel-PAE-devel

That should be enough for the moment.

That's usually what causes the errors. The other thing is to post at least some of the error messages so we can see what the problem is. (My suggestion about installing things such as gcc is a guess, based on what frequently happens on these forums)

Eh, right now I'm not with the problematic computer. Later I'll be with it, and then I will post what I've got.

Eh, sorry to be too late, but here is the result:

I think stoat meant

lspci -nn|grep -i -e ethernet -e network

I have never seen a PCI class of 'wireless'. Wireless PCI adapters normally either appear as Network class or Ethernet class.

Actually I did mean it the way I wrote it. I didn't want returns for "-e ethernet" because they are usually wired NIC cards. But the few wireless cards that show up in lspci as "Ethernet" usually have the word "wireless" in the line, too. So to me, those two words are just the easiest way to catch more of the wireless cards in a one line report.

I think that is the wireless device. At the moment, I don't know anything about it or what to do with it. Maybe someone else does.

Really....

[robert@t60 ~]$ lspci -nn|grep -i -e network -e wireless

I see no mention of wireless

You know, that was just a command that I like to do because it's has often worked in the past. I didn't mean (or say, actually) that you couldn't drag up some example where my pathetic idea would miserably fail. In lieu of further arguing over this infinitesimal and essentially irrelevant point since the wireless card has been identified anyway, I know what you need. Here. You're right. I was wrong. I grovel in mortification at your feet.

You know Stoat, I like the way you put that!

Someone needs to take his meds.

All I was pointing out that grabbing for wireless on a PCI listing is no guarantee of actually finding a wireless card, since your relying on a text description field, which may even be blanc.

Wireless cards in my experience are either classified as Network class, or Ethernet class, so grabbing for those should find it. Of course it will also create false-positives since it will find your Ethernet adapter also.

Take a look at http://www.stk.com.tw/, I think I could be my camera, not my wireless card.

[wanderson@icarus ~]$ lspci -nn | grep -i -e network -e ethernet
02:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller [10ec:8136] (rev 02)

Thanks anyway.

That is your Ethernet controller.

Your Camera would be this USB device:
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0c45:62c0 Microdia Sonix USB 2.0 Camera

[bbfuller]

Theres a thread here:

http://translate.google.co.uk/transl...%3Den%26sa%3DG

that identifies this device:

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 05e1:0100 Syntek Semiconductor Co., Ltd

as:

Device 002: ID 05e1: 0100 is a USB dongle that makes two types of connections to the bluetooth and wifi

Don't see anybody having much luck with it though.

Hi all. At http://www.stk.com.tw/product-01.asp?Product_Type=58 I downloaded http://www.stk.com.tw/driver/Wireles...thotkey.tar.gz and then run tar xvzf on it, followed to driver folder as root, changed perissions to 744 and copied to /lib/modules/2.6.31.6-162.fc12.x86_64/kernel/net/wireless/, then I run depmod and then

[root@icarus wireless]# modprobe 3dspusbwlan
WARNING: Error inserting 3dspusbwlanpriv (/lib/modules/2.6.31.6-162.fc12.x86_64/kernel/net/wireless/3dspusbwlanpriv.ko): Invalid module format
FATAL: Error inserting 3dspusbwlan (/lib/modules/2.6.31.6-162.fc12.x86_64/kernel/net/wireless/3dspusbwlan.ko): Invalid module format

I folowed this tutorial: http://www.madeira.eng.br/wiki/index...m+no+Fedora+12, actually just the final part of it. What is wrong?
