Problem with usb wifi dongle



Hi,

I'm trying to make my wifi dongle working on my debian sid box (Asus
wl-167g).

I tried with the official drivers (rt2500 or rt2x00) and with ndiswrapper.

With the official drivers, iwconfig detects nothing (module is loaded)
and I noticed nothing in the logs.

With ndiswrapper, it's not better. The driver seems to be well installed

$ndiswrapper -l
rt2500usb : driver installed
device (0B05:1706) present

I noticed this error in syslog :
May 31 20:40:17 localhost kernel: ioctl32(loadndisdriver-:4696): Unknown
cmd fd(0) cmd(40056e00){00} arg(ffcc61c4) on /dev/ndiswrapper (deleted)

It may be the cause of the problem.


Does anyone made this chipset working ? (I made it last summer, can't
remember kernel version).

Thanks for your help.

PS: I tried with kernel 2.6.18-4 and 2.6.21 (installed from official
debian package, I used amd64 ones).
