07/31/2007 Relevance: 9.16The nature of my work forces me to be something of a digital nomad -- my notebook computer and a wireless connection are essential parts of my working day. I've been known to move between several wireless access points in one day. While I've had never had any problems with the wireless cards in my Linux-powered notebooks, most of the wireless connection tools I've used have fallen a bit flat. One of the few wireless connection managers that I've actually found useful is wicd -- the Wireless Interface Connection Daemon, pronounced"wicked." It's a lot like the Windows wireless network connection tool in both appearance and ease of use.Search further
12/18/2008 Relevance: 8.72Howto set up a Wireless Bridge in Debian. A wireless router is great when toting a computer with a wireless interface around, but moving a wired computer to another room or floor often means stringing an unsightly Ethernet cable through the house. The alternative is buying a wireless adapter, hoping that a Linux driver is available for it (there often isnât). Even a wireless interface is no good when used out of range of the wireless router.Search further
02/07/2008 Relevance: 7.60Even though I found very specific instructions for making the Airlink 101 AWLL3028 USB wireless adapter work with Linux using ndiswrapper, I've pretty much given up. In all cases, I can get the wireless adapter to light up, and I can find a wireless network. I just can't get a DHCP connection started. I don't have enough skill or patience to keep going with it. It's disappointing, but that's the breaks.Search further
03/26/2008 Relevance: 7.55We have looked at many Gigabyte motherboards and graphics cards at Phoronix, but this computing company also maintains products in the mobile and communication sectors with such products as Bluetooth adapters, VoIP devices, Ultra Mobile PCs, wireless routers, and 802.11b/g/n wireless modules. Today we are checking out our first Gigabyte wireless product as we review the AirCruiser N300, which is a MiniPCI 802.11n (draft) wireless adapter. This wireless adapter uses the Ralink RT2860 chipset, and in this review we'll tell you how to setup this wireless card using ndiswrapper on Ubuntu 8.04.Search further
05/13/2008 Relevance: 7.54Assuming you have managed to find a wireless card that is working well with your Linux distribution, or perhaps you just settled for a hack-n'-hope solution with NDISWrapper, you need to settle on an application that you can use to connect to your wireless network.Search further
12/03/2007 Relevance: 7.45Having spent the last few days really examining what Gutsy has to offer on the wireless front, I have been content with improvements made to the network-manager for GNOME. Having thoroughly tested my RT2500 and RT61 Ralink wireless cards, I was impressed with the new wireless stack and network-manager's ability to handle the wireless cards with zero hassle.Search further
01/08/2010 Relevance: 7.42While wireless chipsets are not as complicated as graphics processors, under Linux they can cause just as many headaches when it comes to getting them working reliably. More hardware vendors have opened up to supporting their wireless chipsets under Linux, but still it can be a pain having to hunt down the firmware for a wireless adapter, needing to build an out-of-tree driver, having issues with the driver such as with WEP/WPA authentication, or if all else fails trying to get the Windows driver working under Linux through ndiswrapper. However, for those looking for a PCI-based 802.11g/n wireless adapter that will work"out of the box" with modern distributions like Ubuntu 9.10, one that we have found to do the job is the Encore ENLWI-N.Search further
07/31/2008 Relevance: 7.39In my previous article, I shared my opinions and overall vision of the state of Linux wireless today. In this latest installment, I will demonstrate exactly how one can have a simple way to implement Linux wireless connectivity without all of the headaches.Search further
08/05/2008 Relevance: 7.30This article describes how I set up two wireless routers in my apartment, to provide a PSK2 encrypted wireless connection for all my household equipment. They are linked together using WDS (also PSK2). I use OpenWRT built directly from SVN. For hardware, I'm using two Asus WL-500G Premium (which uses a broadcom-based wlan).Search further
08/27/2010 Relevance: 7.17A few weeks ago I was living in accommodation that provided internet access via a wired router. This obviously meant no wireless access for some of my devices. This was especially bad for my Nexus One phone which because of the lack of wireless received all data via mobile network causing me to go over my fair usage policy! Also have you ever tried sharing one ethernet cable with your girlfriend/boyfriend, it doesnât work. This was quite irritating so I decided I would try to turn my netbook into a wireless access point (AP).Search further
