Dlink DWA-130 wireless stick drivers for Ubuntu?
-
I have a Dlink DWA-130 N wireless USB stick. My main computer is running Ubuntu 10.10. I got the driver to install using Ndis-Wrapper and the stick is found and so is my modem. When I put in teh WEP key and click connect, it freezes completely. I need internet on that computer! Please answer as soon as possible!

There seems to be three versions of this card. Find out the specific chipset and work from there. "DWA-130 A1 use MRVW245.SYS and NETMW245.INF with Ndiswrapper, DWA-130 Rev B use Rt2870.inf and Rt2870.sys with Ndiswrapper. Rev C has Linux driver from D-Link. Obtain drivers from D-Link, extract installation file with 7-Zip, use driver for XP. I hope this help. PS. Linux Mint use Ubuntu kernel and is easier to set up in my opinion." The RT 2870 chipset has drivers in the kernel tree. Also the libertas/libertas_tf may work for the marvel chipset. I've never had any luck with the NDIS wrapper, but great luck with native drivers. (and should be the last option anyways) Have you ever booted the computer with the wireless stick plugged in. A lot of the time it will just auto detect and drivers load automatically? In such a case you just need to figure out which modules were loaded and add them /etc/modules. Ubuntu also has a wireless troubleshooting guide which is where you should start.
