Had one laying around, handily enough. The odd thing, it would work with WEP. It was having problems with the encryption algorithm for WPA/2. Had no problems communicating with the router, just could pass the WPA/2 password correctly. I've got an identical card in a Winders box, and it works fine there. Go figure. Not sure if the problem was the driver, ndiswrapper or the wpa_supplicant. I finally gave up on it after wasting almost 5 hours and went to the bridge.

Re: [Emc-users] Wireless card problems
I just setup a TP-Link TL-WN722N USB N Wireless adapter on Ubuntu 10.04 with LinuxCNC. They are about $16.00 on Amazon. ( I have no idea how they can make that and sell it for $16.00! ) There is a ath9k_htc driver installation program that is on sourceforge and I tried that and that did not work for me so I removed it. I followed the directions supplied in the first answer on this page to get the driver installed. http://askubuntu.com/questions/98844/how-do-i-get-a-tp-link-tl-wn722n-wireless-card-working I used that exact version of compat-wireless also. I tried an earlier version and the atheros (ath9k_htc) driver was not an option with the earlier version. That got the driver loaded, but using "dmesg" after attaching the USB device said it could not find the firmware file for the USB device. I tried all kinds of things to compile a firmware file for the device all to no avail. Then someone mentioned that installing the package "linux-firmware" via the synaptic package manager might work. So I installed version 1.34.14, I rebooted the computer and the USB Wireless stick came up and ran. WPA/2 is an option on the wireless settings.So it should work fine.

Re: [Emc-users] Wireless card problems
Okay, but like I mentioned before, it still doesn't solve the problem of being unable to use anything stronger than WEP on my wireless card. The FiOS router I have works fine for what it does, and I get good reception in both the house and the shop. I only "rent" the router, so I'd presume Verizon might have something to say about me tinkering with it too much.

Re: [Emc-users] Wireless card problems
Okay, but that really still doesn't solve the WAP/2 problem I'm having with the wireless card. I'd really much prefer using WAP than WEP.

Mark: I've used straight wireless, wireless via bridges as Eric suggests, and also powerline ethernet to solve various connectivity problems at home and at my kids' homes. I reflashed several old Linksys router/access points which didn't support bridging with open-source software (I forget whether I ended up liking OpenWRT or DD-WRT better). Works a treat. Many people deprecate powerline networking but the speeds have dramatically improved and it is much less less accessible to blackhats.

Re: [Emc-users] Wireless card problems
Kent, I missed that page during my fruitless searching. They do list some Marvell drivers which is what the WG111v3 supposedly uses. I'll give them a wack before I head off to the big box stores to peruse their offerings. Thanks!

Re: [Emc-users] Wireless card problems
Mark: Just a comment, since I don't run wireless adapters on my 10.04 hosts. I have managed over the years to help a friend who lives in penury on the left coast get Linux + wireless working on several cast-off laptops he and his significant other have received. For some of them he picked up el cheapo USB-wireless adapters at Fry's. In any case, if the adapter does work as-is I've usually been able to get it working with the aid of the material on wireless.kernel.org. He prefers Linux Mint to Ubuntu so I'm only guessing his earlier system was based on 10.04. In some cases, the labor is significant, but I was always able to tell him enough by email to get him going. Generally speaking, the newer the kernel and its modules, the more likely everything "just works." Yet another reason to abandon 10.04, even if one doesn't care Ubuntu no longer supports it.

[Emc-users] Wireless card problems
Well, I'm in the market for a new wireless card or USB wireless. My old Netgear WG111v3 worked great on my old DSL router which used WEP. We recently upgraded to FIOS, and it uses WPA/2. Unfortunately, under Ubuntu 10.04 and ndiswrappers, it does not work at all with any kind of WPA. Many fruitless hours spent yesterday trying to find a solution, only to find that it's a no go. Any recommendations for a wireless card or wireless USB that works with 10.04 and WPA/2?
