Hi pps,

I am totally new to Linux, somehow I managed to install linux on my machine with USB keyboard, and also somehow managed to start machine on lan card, but I am planning to make the machine connected to internet wirelesly, I got Netgear MA111 USB Adaptor, so how do I install that in my machine.. I got RedHat 9 Linux... I searched over internet got some links and also I download one file from linux-wlan.org and did some stuffs.. but didnt got success.. anyone have tried it? please let me know, how you done it.

It uses the prism2 chipset from what I've read, I'll check the 2.6.7 kernel for compatibility. Give me a min.

EDIT: 2.6.7 has support for it.

Device Drivers --> Networking Support --> Wireless LAN (non-hamradio) --> Hermes chipset 802.11b support (Orinoco/Prism2/Symbol)

I updated kernel of my Fedora Core 2, also got installed MA111, also I can see links.. but still I am not able to surf, or not able to ping router, DHCP is not working.

would really appreciate, if someone help out how to make DHCP working? its wokring on Windows machine, but not on Linux.

here is the output for ifconfig:

first one is lo.. which is localhost.. eth0 is not activated coz cable is not there.

and here is the output for iwconfig:

wlan0 IEEE 802.11-b ESSID:"*****" Nickname:"*****"

Mode: Managed Frequency:2.462GHz Access Point: 00:09:5B:9F:8B:98

Bit Rate: 2Mb/s Tx-Power:-575345664 dBm

Retry min limit:8 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off

Encryption key:off

Link Quality:90/92 Signal level:-40 dBm Noise level:-97 dBm

Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt: 0 Rx invalid frag:0

Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0

ok, now everything is almost perfect.. jsut router isnt assigning IP to the wlan0

I checked with dhclient.. and its showing this

DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 3

but my router got IP 10.200.0.60 and Subnet of 255.255.0.0

so that 255.255.255.255 is making any sense in this?

I also tried it with dhclient -s 10.200.0.60 but no help...

anyone?

I was wondering if this was the only place you were looking for answers...

Linuxquestions.org is definately the best place for anyone looking for a place to start w/ anything about linux.

recently I had to put a Netgear MA101 11mbps wireless hub on a Mandrake 9 installation of Linux. As you probably know, Netgear really doesn't offer much in the way of linux drivers. I found out my MA101 uses a chip made by a company called Atmel, and I found a website of people developing an opensource driver for the chip. The forums there were very useful, and eventually I got it up and running.

It doesn't look like your MA111 uses the same chip, but keep looking. I was a complete newbie, and I somehow managed to do it. :yes: I hope linuxquestions helps you. It looks like you're close. Good luck, and don't give up.

    • I think that the last game I bought on day-one was something like Ghost of Tsushima. I've come to realise that I don't have enough time (or sometimes inclination) to game as much as I used to, and I've got plenty of games to keep me occupied if I do decide to play. So I don't see the need to buy a game when it first releases - I wait until it goes on sale. If I'm really excited about a game and the price is under £50 then I would consider it, but anything over that price point gets ignored until the price comes down.
    • For the foreseeable that is your choice. I'm interested tom try one, my wife was very pleased because one she is anti-social and driver chat annoys her and two more seriously there is a long history of drivers abusing women, it's rare, but it happens and more than it should. Sometimes she needs to get a late taxi and she says it may make her feel safer.
    • 5800x3d was chopped because it was too good, why bother releasing a new mid range.
    • Was it bad, sure, but I got it on PC so it was nowhere near as bad as the PS4/XBO versions. Besides, I spent around 200hrs in there and have yet to play the expansion for it. All in all I think I got my monies worth. Maybe I was lucky and didn't run into anything game breaking like others. Either way, $60 is my limit for a game, the point is I'm not going over that no matter what the title is or how much I want to play it. Thank god I don't suffer from FOMO.

Implemented piano-key display for spectrum/spectrogram view. Implemented indication of musical note name in cursor information for spectrum/spectrogram view. Fixed a bug that spectrogram view after zoom-in with large factor sometimes freezes. Fixed a bug that scroll and zoom-out in spectrogram view after zoom-in with large factor do not work correctly. Fixed a bug that spectrogram view provides sometimes wrong time information. Fixed a bug that plugin errors sometimes cause a crash. Fixed a bug that the color of grid lines is wrong in printing. Optimized layout of spectrogram view for printing. Enhanced the function of waveform cropping from label information. Fixed a bug that some items in the preference dialog related to labels do not work. Added some items related to the region label in the preference dialog. Fixed a bug that drawing selected region in the log-frequency axis does not work correctly. Added partial support for the dark mode of Windows (the menu bar and the menus). Fixed a bug that the cursor to indicate current calculation position of spectrogram is sometimes not shown. Changed drawing of cursor information into that with white background so as to make the information legible. Fixed a bug that moving to the head by scrolling the overview display sometimes fails. Added feature of alignment of the view region between spectrum view and spectrogram view.
