Problem: Sitecom WL-170 Wireless [solved]

Yes, you can link to the windows directory or you can copy the .inf and .sys files into a local directory. But, only install the .inf Allow ndiswrapper to find the related .sys file. Be sure to try removing the wrong stuff first prior to installing the new software.

 

Int he Linux world, just because something is not listed on a hardware list does not mean it will not work.

You need to use a newer version if ndiswrapper. Since there are none in the Mandriva rpms, we can compile it and install it on your machine. Just to note, you must have only one driver installed at a time. In a console, and as the root user, type "ndiswrapper -r [driver name]" for each driver that does not work. Put the driver name in the brackets, and do not use the brackets! The driver which ndiswrapper reports as "driver present" is the one to keep. It appears to be the rt61 driver. You could try this first to see if the current ndiswrapper will work. But I had to compile it in order to use it in a 64 bit system.

 

Go to this site and download the 1.38 sources.

Next, in a console as root, type "urpme ndiswrapper" , This removes the current software.

Then as a regular user, go to the download of ndiswrapper-1.38.tar.gz and type "tar -xjf ndiswrapper-1.38.tar.gz" . This will create a folder with a bunch of stuff in it.

Next, as root in a console, type "urpmi kernel-source-2.6.17.11mdv-1-1mdv2007.0.i586.rpm"

Then, navigate into the directory created by unpacking the ndiswrapper tarball. In that directory, in a console, type "make install".

 

Next, type "modprobe -a" and then "modprobe ndiswrapper"

Next type "ndiswrapper -i filename.INF" where the inf is found in your windows directory.

Then, type "ndiswrapper -l" to see if the all is well.

 

Then type "iwconfig". Look for an ESSID or an access point to associate with. When you see it, type "iwconfig wlan0 essid NAME" and see if the lights come to life.

 

Hi, unfortunately this way doesnt' work. At this time, the only way I can see the card on is with original Mandriva 2006 kernel and its source. I have also installed ndiswrapper 1.38 and loaded rt61 driver. I can see my network, the card on wlan0 but when I type "iwconfig wlan0 essid MY_ESSID" nothing changes. Essid is always "off/any" and I see my network WEP encrypted when I use a WPA encryption with Windows.

 

I tried this http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/WPA but of course I'm stucked at very beginning, when I have to create(?) a ".config file". I can't make it works.

 

If you need more info (ie. type this and write what you see) let me know. I want to win this battle! :wall:

What is your network ESSID? (What do you call your network?)

At what point did it not work?

Please give step by step details of what you have done. I listed a process, well, I listed 2 processes. Which did not work?

As root in a console, type "lsmod" and report here what it says.

Fresh news!

 

I send a mail to Sitecom and they answered me that Sitecom WL-170 uses "ralink rt2561 chipset"!

 

So rt61 doesn't work properly! Now the problem is find this driver I think... BTW, I post some results:

First, if you use the drivers from your windows install, then those are the drivers that work. ndiswrapper already has said that the driver will work. So, sitecom is messed up.

 

Please carefully follow the steps I listed concerning ndiswrapper commands. Also, the ESSID is specific to what ever you have put into your router. If you called your wireless network "punky" the command would be

"iwconfig wlan0 essid punky"

 

You must be root to do this. If the lights come on, you then may be abe to configure your security through the Mandriva tools.

Hi all!

 

I'm writing from Mandriva 2007, now it's working! Here's my solution.

 

Step #1: I installed Mandriva 2007;

 

Step #2: from here I downloaded ndiswrapper 1.38 and installed it. See here for installation info;

 

Step #3: After I installed the appropriate driver for my card (in this case Rt61.INF) and kept on ndiswrapper with "modoprobe ndiswrapper" I went to "Configure your computer -> Network & Internet -> Setup a new network...." and I confgured my card from here.

 

Step #4: If you have a WPA encryption you'll be asked to install "wpa_supplicant". Insert Mandriva 2007 DVD and install it.

 

Step #5: configure your card and you'll be ok!

 

I hope this will be useful. If someone finds something wrong please write it in order to know all. See you! :D
