Notes on the linux driver:

Ad-Hoc Wireless Networking

WEP / WPA

If only I could get WEP/WPA to work on this thing.

WPA Version 1

Group Cipher: TKIP

to scan:

sudo iwlist scanning

How do I turn on encryption?


Notes:


In addition to the bcm43xx driver, you will need to install the firmware. Due to copyright restrictions, the creators of the bcm43xx driver can't just give you the firmware - you'll need to get it yourself. To do this, simply install the "bcm43xx-fwcutter" package. This will download the Windows driver for your wireless card, cut out the firmware from that driver, and insert it into the linux bcm43xx driver.

An alternative to using the bcm43xx driver is to use the NDISWrapper - some users have reported that the bcm card works better (better range) with the NDISWrapper. Refer to this article for NDISWrapper information: Configuring the ndiswrapper driver for wireless controllers without native Linux drivers
