Es importante tener en cuenta que si un componente hardware ha funcionado en una versión previa del sistema, hay muchas probabilidades de que también lo haga en esta. Sin embargo, no hay garantías de que la nueva versión no introduzca errores en los drivers (controladores) o en la configuración (para ejemplos concretos visitar Bug 168618). Por favor, asegúrese pues concienzudamente de que el dispositivo funciona correctamente en la nueva revisión antes de editar las Question.png

10.1 Funciona con ndiswrapper(drivers para 64 bits también funcionan con ndiswrapper).

10.1 y 10.2: funciona perfectamente con madwifi e instalación mínima. Ninguno de los drivers Winxp/95 testeados funcionaron con ndsiwrapper.

10.0: podría haber un problema al utilizar el dispositivo conjuntamente con routers 802.11b. Una posible solución aquí. 10.1 y 10.2: es necesario el paquete ipw-firmware disponible en el CD/DVD Non-OSS add-on (o en el repositorio non-oss ).

10.1/10.2 - es necesario usar el disco de Extras 6 o instalar los paquetes ipw-firmware y ipw3945d desde los repositorios non-oss. Pueden surgir problemas en algunos equipos si el "kill switch" está activado. (On my IBM T60, this is a little switch near the IR port, on other systems it may be an ACPI keyboard switch like Fn+F5 or something you can enable or disable in the BIOS.) SuSE 10.1 - Use the wlan kernel & install the firmware upgrade. Install ipw3945d. Use traditional ifup instead of Network Manager.

Chipsets missing or listed here as not supported may work using ndiswrapper.

Atheros chipsets can be used via the Atheros madwifi driver.

¿Qué hacer para conocer que chipset tengo?

El chipset es el que determina el driver que necesitas, no el fabricante de la tarjeta. Te mostramos varias formas de encontralo. Todos los comandos deben ejecutarse como root.

Prueba esto:

hwinfo --wlan

Por otro lado, puedes usar este comando se tienes una tarjeta PCMCIA o si está integrada en la placa principal.

lspci

O esto, si tienes un USB WiFi:

lsusb

Esto no nos dará una información muy detallada, pero te proporcionará el identificador exclusivo, hardware ID, por ejemplo 046d:c01b, luego, localiza con Google o cualquier otro buscador de internet cuál es el chipset de este dispositivo.

Ndiswrapper

Si no hay un driver nativo para Linux de tu tarjeta, puedes utilizar un driver para Windows usando Ndiswrapper
