How to enable Linksys [AirConn] INPROCOMM IPN 2220 Wireless LAN Adapter (rev 01) on Ubuntu 7.10
The key here is ndiswrapper and the Toshiba Satellite L10 WLAN Driver.
1. Download Toshiba Satellite L10 WLAN Driver and extract
http://driverscollection.com/?file_id=32880
2. Install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 package.
3. Install Wireless driver using ndiswrapper. The file you want to use is neti2220.inf in the Winxp folder. In my case I type,
sudo ndiswrapper -i '/home/phil/Desktop/wlesslan-sl10-xp-303112004135/Winxp/neti2220.inf'
4. Check to make sure the driver was installed correctly
ndiswrapper -l
you should see
neti2220 : driver installed
device (17FE:2220) present
5. Load the new driver module and check for errors
sudo depmod -a sudo modprobe ndiswrapper tail /var/log/messages
You should see a line like
ndiswrapper: driver neti2220 (INPROCOMM,11/04/2004,3.03.11.2004) loaded
6. After about a half a minute you should now see wireless networks to join in the top panel network manager notification area. Choose yours and enter the password. You should now be connected!
7. Automatically loading driver at start-up. (Add an Alias to associate wlan0 to ndiswrapper in modprobe.d / load ndiswrapper module at system start-up).
sudo ndiswrapper -m
You should see
adding "alias wlan0 ndiswrapper" to /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper ...
Edit /etc/modules file to add an entry for ndiswrapper at the end of the file
gksudo gedit /etc/modules
My file looks like this
fuse lp sbp2 ndiswrapper
Save the file.
8. Done. Heres a few links to find out more.
