Hardware :: Wireless N USB Dongle Edimax Drivers For Ubuntu
Oct 2, 2010
I bought this Wireless N USB dongle Edimaxx EW-7811Un today and it works fine in Windows. But when I plug it into my Ubuntu Netbook, nothing happens? I'm guessing this is a driver issue and there is a driver available on their website but I have no idea what to do with it as I have never manually installed a Linux driver before. I tried looking up some tutorials but all the methods seem completely different between specific hardware. The driver is available here : [URL]

I have a elonex web book with UB 10.04lts installed. Now when i installed aircrack package and tried to scan using airodump-ng mon0 (card in monitor mode) it worked fine and picked up my test APs but wouldn't inject. So i downloaded the drive below and now i cant even use airodump it just sits there?

I am using a wireless usb device to connect to my router and the make/model of the device is Edimax 7717Un. Drivers for Linux came with the CD and I tried to follow the Read me .sta but I cannot understand few things.
1 When I tried to compile the code by using $make command the code is getting compiled with some errors which are mentioned below:
_Linux_STA_V2.1.2.0/os/linux/../../os/linux/rt_linux.c:1508: error: 'struct net_device' has no member named 'open'
/root/Desktop/LIN_FILES/2009_0521_RT2870_Linux_STA_V2.1.2.0/os/linux/../../os/linux/rt_linux.c:1509: error: 'struct net_device' has no member named 'stop'
[Code].....
if there is way of installing the driver for my make and model in RHEL 6.0 or is there anything I can do( which I think would be slightly too much for me) in this circumstances. I am attaching README.STA and the MAKE file with this post .

I have Maverick Meerkat running perfectly on my laptop and have loaded as dual boot onto my old XP pc as well, I'm quite a newbie and working my way through Ubuntu for Non Geeks.
Problem - apparently this PCI card - Edimax wireless N PCI 7727in card is supposed to work out of the box, it came with the Ralink drivers for Ubuntu RT2860.
the network manager finds the homehub and tries to connect but just continually tries and never actually does it, the card works fine with XP so i know it's not faulty.
if it was a driver fault would the card be working at all? would it try to find the network manager?
I bought this card as previously i was using a Dlink DWA-140 and gave up trying to make it work, this card is advertised as Linux compatible in the Ubuntu forums list and on the card.

I have just bought an Edimax EW-7711UTn wireless adaptor with CD. I have the Linux folder on the CD. Folder name 2009_0525_RT3070_Linux_STA_v2.1.1.0. How do I install from this folder

I bought a wireless card as stated because it said Linux compatible on it.
I found out on another blog that I needed to blacklist the following:
blacklist rt2x00usb
blacklist rt2x00lib
blacklist rt2800usb
Since then the wireless on my Ubuntu finds a couple of networks, amongst them my wireless network that I am trying to connect. When I enter the Password (which I enter correctly btw) then it tries to connect, but then stops after about 30 seconds.

I have just upgraded from 11.2 to 11.3 my Dell Inspiron 5100 with LAN adapter Edimax Ew-7711utn. It was working fine under 11.2, without using Network Manager. The old RT2870 driver was loaded and wpa_supplicant started at boot time. But it does not connect any more automatically with 11.3. The nl80211 almost universal driver seems to be missing, wpa_supplicant is not launched during the boot process, and no connection to the AP is therefore made. I have tried quickly NetworkManager but it is of no help in this case. There is still a long way to go to make it a reliable clever tool. So, back to the ifup method, I can only connect manually with this small script :
#!/bin/sh
echo "Starting mywifi "
/usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dwext -B
sleep 2
/sbin/dhclient wlan0
echo ""
route add -net default gw 192.168.0.1
sleep 3
iwconfig
exit 0
It works, but I am not happy at all to have to run this bad script, and would like to understand the origin of this regression, and why is nl80211 not found.

I am (was) trying to setup my Edimax EW-7711lN PCI WiFi card. My original post is here, misplaced because my initial issue was the absence of development tools & libs.That was solved but following the tutorial on this site. I know it says Ubuntu, but the method worked for me also on Mandriva and Fedora so I was thinking it would help in openSuse as well.
However, in openSuse I have no networking devices when I look in the list (not even a loopback interface or my onboard Realtek LAN). Could someone maybe help me in doing a proper installation (maybe help me with a change to that tutorial to make it work on openSuse?).

I recently bought the Edimax 7781Un wireless modem specifically because it works with Linux. The OS does recognise the device and tries to connect to the router, however it connects and has the two semi-circles going round then it eventually disconnects. I thought it was my wireless device with little signal strength therefore I bought this one. However this one connected once for 20 seconds, 89% strength and disconnects. I booted up win7 and it works fine, so I have put it down to the driver or the OS.
Trying to compile the driver, I am up to the make step after following instruction here. I type make, it does a few things and errors a fair few things, the last line ending in [make] *** [LINUX] Error 2
Another possibility (I think) for this connection problem could be my AMP installation, however I have neither apache, php or mysql running and I still have the problem.I read somewhere that make requires more files, is this true? And if it is, where can I get it without an internet connection on my linuxbox? (I am currently using my brothers w7 computer).

which chipsets are on the PCi and PCie cards, EW7722in and EW-7612PIn, and whether they can be made to run on a linux system. My system is recent (Linux home 2.6.37.2-0.6-default kernel) Do they have the same chipset as EW-7711In, which I notice has explicit linux support? Now this was on the 3/03/2011, and I had given up getting any kind of useful support, but I got a reply today. I hope they wont mind if I quote them:

I have a Netgear WG111v2 Wifi dongle, sadly there is no linux drivers for it. The only solution i can find is to use Ndiswrapper.
Will it be a major challenge writing a Linux driver ?
Where should i start ?
NB. I want to write my own driver for the following reasons:
Get a better understanding of Linux Device drivers. Probably, get a better understanding of C/C++ and Linux in general.

I was hoping that 11.3 would sort this ongoing problem out for me. It works, it doesn't work so on and so forth! Following the "My wireless doesn't work - a primer on what I should do next page" the first few cmnd line entries were irrelevant. However, here are the results (edited) of the dmesg file.

I recently bought a D-Link DIR-655 router capable of 802.11n operation, upgrading from a DIR-624 router only capable of 802.11g operation. While my overall setup uses wired connections, other people in the house prefer wireless, and the upgrade was undertaken more for a hoped for increase in wireless range, rather than the possibility of increased speed, since the router is located to accommodate the wired connections. However, to test the 802.11n operation I bought a D-Link DWA-130 USB dongle for my now 5-year old laptop, which comes with an otherwise satisfactory 100Mbs ethernet port(eth1) and an 802.11g wireless card(eth0). By checking the dmesg | grep firmware output after I plugged in the dongle I determined that the necessary firmware was rtl8192sfw.bin, which I found on the web, and downloaded into the directory /lib/RTL8192SU.
A subsequent reboot and then YaST > Network Devices > Network Settings showed the device as wlan0, but not configured. I changed the Network Setup Method to ifup (since I can see no way to do a device configuration in Network Manager), and configured the device, and at the same time deleted the configuration for the existing 802.11g wireless card(eth0). I then rebooted, went back into YaST to confirm the wlan0 device was configured and the 802.11g device (eth0) was not, changed the Network Setup Method back to Network Manager, rebooted again. Making sure that the router was set to only transmit/receive using 802.11n I then typed iwlist scan. To my surprise, the output showed first that the supposedly unconfigured eth0 device seemed to be still active, for it found my home network, and claimed that the protocol used was 802.11g. On the other hand, the newly configured wlan0 device produced the message: "Interface doesn't support scanning: Network is down".
First, should I expect iwlist scan to work for a device that shows as unconfigured? And even if it should work, shouldn't it show 802.11n as the protocol, assuming that the router is in fact telling the truth? Is there any independent means to determine if the router is only using 802.11n as it claims? Second, the overall goal is to make the wireless network in the house 802,11n only, and since the dongle is backward compatible with 802.11g, I would expect to permanently unconfigure the eth0 device and use the dongle, both here and on the road. I do not need two wireless connections on my laptopThe laptop is running SuSE 11.2 as of about a month ago.

I've currently got the beta of fedora 12 installed, hope to upgrade that once the final release comes out. I'm having so many problems getting wireless to work. I've got a edimax ew-7711utn wireless adaptor. It doesn't work. Really what I want is to take it back and get a wireless card that will work.

Just installed Ubuntu Studio 10.04 and everything seems to be working nicely except I have no networking.
The card does not appear in the Network Settings GUI. The only 3 tabs I have are General, DNS, and Hosts.
A screen grab is attached.
I'm a long time Windows user trying out some of the best Linux creative apps I can find. So, Ubuntu Studio was a no brainer. I checked the manufacturer's site for linux drivers and they are available, but I don't know how current. (Edimax site, not RaLink's site.) I opened the file and it looks like it needs to be compiled and installed to work. Something I know almost nothing about. The card is listed as supported in this forum for Ubuntu 9x but I can't find information about it for 10.04
PS. I have no networking on the system but I can transfer files via USB flash drives if needed.
Some System info:
Code:
1 ) Machine Brand and Model (PC/Laptop): Dell Precision 650
2 ) Wireless Brand, Model and Wireless Chipset: 03:0c.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI
3 ) check interface: robert@ubuntu:~$ ifconfig

I've been using linux for a while now and I bought a usb wifi dongle (TL-WN727N) and when I first plugged it in it didn't seem to work. So I did the usual lsmod andand blacklisted a few modules. Now network manager was finally beginning to work, it would connect and then after three seconds it would disconnect and reconnect. I then tried wpa_supplicant but it kept giving me (and still does) "wpa_supplicant association request to driver failed" along with some other stuff. On a whim I decided to install wicd and tada, it worked! Now about a week ago I did the usual update that pops up but when I rebooted wicdldn't connect anymore. If I had encryption on my router enabled it would sit there saying ":Verifying" for a while then "Bad Password". If I left my wifi unencrypted it wouldn't get an ip. It connects to my wired router just fine, but it won't connect to my wifi

I want to buy a wireless dongle to establish a bridged connection in my home. I mean, does anyone have a wireless dongle which works perfectly for Karmic without ndiswrapper? Some of the information in the Ubuntu help page is outdated.

I am using Ubuntu 10.10 desktop (latest updates) on an Acer Veriton 1000 desktop. I purchased a SMCWUSBS-N# Wireless USB Dongle recently and have been struggling to get it to work. NM-APPLET simply does not show any Wireless option at all. I have tried all the various posts / suggestions that I could Google and I am still nowhere.
Last night I manually loaded the RT3370sta driver. Now iwconfig does show the card on ra0. However, NM-APPLET still does not show any Wireless option at all.
Surprisingly "iwlist ra0 scan" command at the Terminal does show alll the available Wifi connections.

I have 2 computers, both running Ubuntu 10.10. I purchased a TP-LINK Wireless Adaptor model number: TL-WN321G
On my main computer (Acer Laptop) I plugged the dongle into the usb port and Ubuntu picked it up straight away and connected, so it worked straight from the box.
I bought the dongle for my car PC, running Ubuntu 10.10. I then plugged the dongle into my car PC, but nothing, it was not recognised. Even though Ubuntu came bundled with the correct driver files found in /lib/firmware/zd1211 I manually updated them from the latest driver download, but still nothing.
How can I get my dongle to work ? I'm guessing I have missed something, because the dongle worked straight from the box on my laptop.

I'm trying my to get my 3-year-old Dynex wireless dongle to work in Ubuntu 10.04 (64-bit). Borrowing a similar linksys adapter from another computer running Ubuntu, I was able to install NDISGTK and transfer the same drivers that work in my 64-bit Windows 7 installation into my home folder.
Despite the fact that the dongle does not appear at all using lshw -C Network, ndiswrapper -l indicates that the driver is installed and the device is present. I think I found something interesting, though, when I tried this command:
Code:
jimmy@ubuntu:~$ dmesg | grep -e ndis -e wlan
[ 9.321323] ndiswrapper version 1.55 loaded (smp=yes, preempt=no)
[ 10.021542] ndiswrapper (import:242): unknown symbol: NDIS.SYS:'NdisMIndicateReceiveNetBufferLists'
[ 10.021549] ndiswrapper (import:242): unknown symbol: NDIS.SYS:'NdisAllocateIoWorkItem'
[ 10.021554] ndiswrapper (import:242): unknown symbol: NDIS.SYS:'NdisFreeIoWorkItem'

I need to buy a wireless USB dongle for an Linux laptop. The intention is to use it with a security penetration distro like BackTrack. I want it to work without having to do install anything outside of apt (especially NDISWrapper). It would be really nice to know if you're currently using it.

I am just staring in the world of Linux (I want to stop eating what Microsoft leaves behind). I have this minor problem using Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat). The OS had detected my CNET Wireless-G USB Dongle (CWD-854). I have a Linksys Wireless Router (WRT-120N). I see in the top right corner of the OS the wireless icon. When I click on it, it displays the SSID of my wireless. When I click on it, it ask me for my wireless password. It start to try to connect to my wireless router, but it always end up disconnecting.

I had previously been sharing my ethernet connection over wireless using Hostapd & dnsmasq on my headless server as this tutorial shows: here which had been working fine. I now wish to share my USB mobile broadband over the wireless. I using a ZTE MF112. I was able to get the connection working using the application wvdial.
- Firstly I had to create a hard link between /dev/gsmodem & /dev/modem
- wvdial then made a new connection ppp0 which would work for internet access.
Changing the interfaces to have the br0 port like so:
Code:
iface br0 inet static
address 192.168.1.1
network 192.168.1.0
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
bridge-ports eth1 ppp0 wlan0
Flushing the IPTables & then adding:
Code:
iptables -A FORWARD -i br0 -s 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -i ppp0 -d 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE
Doing so works fine, but I'm not entirely sure how to make this all automated. I could try making a script to launch, but I don't have a huge amount of experience writing scripts. Is wvdial the best application to use? Keeping in mind I'm using a headless server. I use Squeezebox server & the scrobbling didn't seem to be able to connect to last.fm. Do I need to specify which connection Squeezebox uses?
