FC7-x86_64, NDISWRAPPER, IPN-2220, WPA-PSK
 

Hi All,
Has anyone been able to bring up the Inprocomm wireless
interface (built-in to laptop mobo) using a winxp/64bit driver,
ndiswrapper and FC7 x86_64, using wpa-psk encryption?

If so, could you please share with the world
1. the windows driver
2. your wpa_supplicant.conf file
3. the steps to execute to make it happen

Thanx in advance,

Jago

Before I even tried, I'd want to know more about the card.
What does lspci show?

If I can find a native Linux driver, that's what I would expect to use.
Last I looked, ndiswrapper offered less than complete functionality.



Did you ask google?

Hello John,
And thank you for responding.
I did check the google search urls you appended to your message,
but for some strange reason (perhaps due to the browser's session ID
embedded in the URL), both links yield a blank page.

The card was built by a now defunct company named Inprocomm.
The model number is IPN-2220.
This chipset went into many cheap wireless cards. In my case, it
is embedded into the notebook's mobo.
The mobo has AMD Athlon 64 3700+ (not exactly blazingly fast).
I was able to locate the Acer winXP-64 bit driver for this chipset
and finally got it to work.
It turns out that what I was doing wrong was:

# wpa_supplicant -dd -K -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dndiswrapper -w

After I changed -Dndiswrapper to -Dwext, all went well.

Initial connection was at 1 mb/s. After a while (probably due to more
handshaking) speed went up to 54 megabits/s

All is very well now indeed.

If anyone else is having this problem, I will be glad
to share all the necessary info.

Thanks again!

Jago
