Hardware, Software, and Other Imperialist Crap / Re: Linux and wireless networking« on: June 08, 2004, 12:18:45 PM »Quote from: Demosthenes
Going to need more info on this... I checked out the A series and got a link to this: ftp://ftp.linux-wlan.org/pub/linux-wlan-ng/ I then located the prism54 website and noticed they say, "The same driver source works for 2.4 AND 2.6". What exactly happened when you attempted to compile this? Consider thus editied: To elaborate more...I understand it can be frustrating to put so much time into it and get nowhere. I've had similar problems with particular hardware before. That first link I posted contains drivers which appear to support that card... give it a try and post your experience. 3
Hardware, Software, and Other Imperialist Crap / Re: Unix-based windows?« on: June 07, 2004, 10:32:22 PM »Quote from: Epicure Hey, I just though of somthing, surely someone cleverer and brighter than me has already though about it, but you know the way it feels : like you got a great idea and you're just convinced it's a great idea till someone actually tells you why it's crap. Not possible. Billy Gates will never give up his bastard child (ie, release Windows open source). Linux and Windows kernels are entirely different, and to run Windows programs on Linux you would need an emulator or some type of compatibility layer. Applications, if stuck to a standard of code (not relying on a particular OS function), can be easily ported to platforms where a compiler exists. QT is an example of cross platform development where your applications can be brought to Linux, Windows, Mac, etc. What I can see is an window manager that is a clone of the Windows GUI environment - though I would imagine The Legion of Doom (aka Microsoft Lawyers) would stop this pretty quickly. Good news is many alternatives are being created to replace MS applications as well as many games being ported to Linux natively. SDL is an example of an open source alternative to DirectX. (zSnes for Windows uses DirectX, while zSnes for Linux uses SDL). 4

I agree this can be frustrating to get your devices working especially for the recent Windows exiles who aren't incredibly "fu" with Linux. Its a learning process which is very rewarding. Trial and error is part of the deal
 .As for your card, not to worry. Here are links to the drivers: http://support.dlink.com/faq/view.asp?prod_id=357&question=General%20Wireless I see there is compatibility for kernel 2.4.18, 2.4.20, etc - so compile it and give it a try. Remember, recompiling your kernel isn't necessary in most cases. You can simply plug in the module(s) and your device is up. Hope this helps. 8
