SMC2835W EU

2.4GHz 54 Mbps Wireless Cardbus Adapter

udajne funguje aj s prism54 aj s ndiswrapper, ale mne sa to podarilo rozbehnut iba cez ndiswrapper. Sifrovana siet, WPA-PSK s TKIP

Now your wireless card is working, we need to configure wireless network (with WPA of course)

# cat /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo wlan0 eth0
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
    wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

# wpa_passphrase <your_essid '<your_strong_wireless_password>'  >> /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
# cat /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
network={
        ssid="<your_essid>"
        proto=WPA
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        pairwise=TKIP
        group=TKIP
        #psk="<your_strong_wireless_password>"
        psk=c166*****************************
}

# /etc/init.d/wpa-ifupdown restart
# ifup wlan0

# ndiswrapper -l
