All the USB drivers are in the usb/ subdirectory. Finding out for sure which specific devices are supported can be difficult one simple approach is to look in /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/ for drivers. Some companies (Intel) put extra effort into making sure their hardware works under Linux (sometimes before Windows drivers are released the members of their development teams I've talked with have been excited to support Linux). In general, it is best to buy devices after finding out their level of support. Ndiswrapper (a tool that provides enough Windows APIs to let Windows drivers run under Linux) doesn't mention your device on their supported devices list. One user on that forum suggests the RALinkTech driver "RT3572USB" will function for your device, but suggests it will be an annoyance. It doesn't look like Cisco cares about supporting Linux on that specific device: In addition, you will also want to run: sudo dkms remove ndiswrapper/1.57 -all
Follow the solution here to resolve: Īs a side note the source code he refers to is everything in the "driver" directory of the extracted tar.gz
**Update for 12.10- If you install ndiswrapper-dkms it will fail and you will start getting system errors. inf files forgot to include those lines, which I find funny. I could be wrong, but I think this means whoever wrote these. Now plug in the USB device and the blue light should come on. Then do the install again: sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmwlhigh5.inf Then, if you've already attempted to install the driver with ndiswrapper you'll need to remove it, run: sudo ndiswrapper -e bcmwlhigh5 To resolve this, edit the bcmwlhigh5.inf file. If you attempt to install the driver with ndiswrapper at this point, you will receive the "couldn't find section "Linksys_64"" error. Then, download the XP driver for the device: Įxtract the zip and cd to the folder (probably xp). I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 and after searching these forums unsuccessfully, I have installed the driver for my AE1200 and it is working correctly.įirst, install ndiswrapper and be sure to install ndiswrapper-common and ndiswrapper-dkms as well. You run in terminal sudo modprobe -r ndiswrapper | sudo modprobe ndiswrapper and then the LED turns on.
