(To my Buffalo/dd-wrt G router.)įirst, if the WNDA3100v2 appears to set up, but won't connect, do not try to connect again. The driver installed and the wireless connected. In PCC, removed existing wifi (wlan0) (WNDA3100) connection. rwxrwxrwx 1 tom2 tom2 632576 bcmwlhigh5.sys* rwxrwxrwx 1 tom2 tom2 167298 bcmwlhigh5.inf* rwxrwxrwx 1 tom2 tom2 747008 bcmwlhigh564.sys*

rwxrwxrwx 1 tom2 tom2 7450 bcmh43xx.cat* I'm going to try to break out a couple of more access points tomorrow, since I seem to remember the stick didn't work with one or more. My access point is a Buffalo WHR-G54S running DD-WRT. But, I don't use the stick very often and I think I didn't test much (it's good enough).įinally, I'm connected with my WNDA3100 for this posting. I'm pretty sure I tried other encryption modes and was only successful with WPA/WPA2 Pre-shared Key. The wireless came up: I did that a couple of times. Shutdown and removed the stick, reinserted the stick and rebooted. Right click net_applet in systray and Wireless networks shows other access points in my area. page appeared, however a few seconds later the signal strength was in the systray and hovering showed I was connected to my network. Scans for networks, then goes to Unlisted - edit manually. Select driver /usr/lib/wnda3100/bcmwlhigh5.infĭo you really want to use a ndiswrapper driver? Set up a new network interface (LAN, ISDN, ADSL. Udev: renamed network interface wlan0 to wlan1 Ndiswrapper: changing interface name from 'wlan0' to 'wlan1' Usbcore: registered new interface driver ndiswrapper Wlan0: encryption modes supported: WEP TKIP with WPA, WPA2, WPA2PSK AES/CCMP with WPA, WPA2, WPA2PSK Wlan0: ethernet device 2c:b0:5d:70:b4:e3 using NDIS driver: bcmwlhigh5, version: 0x50a4f1e, NDIS version: 0x501, vendor: 'NDIS Network Adapter', 0846:9011.F.conf Ndiswrapper: driver bcmwlhigh5 (Netgear, 5.10.79.30) loaded Usb 1-4: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3 Here's some dmesg info from after installation:Ĭode: ndiswrapper version 1.56 loaded (smp=yes, preempt=yes) I'm running Xfce, updated to the last useable version about a week ~]$ uname -r The stick may be sensitive to the exact driver version used. Third: Although bcmwlhigh5 exists in the ndiswrapper driver list during setup, that one doesn't work.
#Netgear wnda3100v3 driver windows xp zip#
There's a zip attachment to one of the posts. Mine is WNDA3100v2 and is Broadcom.Īnd: I don't think the driver on the disk that came with the unit worked, but I found a driver on some other distro's forum that did: I have net_applet in the systray and see local networks and connect/disconnect there.įirst problem: there are Atheros and Broadcom versions of the WNDA3100. The stick is dual band, but with ndiswrapper only works in 2.4Ghz, although I'm not sure I made much of an effort to get it working in the 5Ghz band.Īlso, when it is up and connected, PCC does not show networks and PCC can not be used to connect to my access point. I have a WNDA3100v2 USB stick that can work with my desktop and laptop computers. Getting back to WNDA3100, here's my story.
