flarefox Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 I have seen absolutely nothing on wireless-n. I tried to adopt it early on, but couldn't since ndiswrapper didn't work. driverloader started to, but died shortly after. NDISwrapper now is able to see networks and associate, but not send or recieve anything. Anyone else have different luck with it? What were your setups? I thought it would be adopted much faster considering linksys uses linux-based routers and (I think I read that) they release their source to the linux community as well, don't they? Just thought I'd ask and see what you all can tell me about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 802.11n isn't even released yet: the estimated 802.11n publish date is now September 2008. From Wikipedia. AFAIK, however, Linux does support 802.11n. It may be that ndiswrapper does not properly support it, or the driver for your card doesn't.

flarefox Posted April 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 I know it's not released yet, but there are many devices that claim to be 802.11n already out. They just have little disclaimers stating this is draft-n, or g+mimo or something. I was just asking because that's what the devices stated. So there is support for them? Where do I go to find this or to find which ones work? When I do a google search for wireless-n linux it only returns forum posts where people complain about it not working. I have a linksys and 2 belkin cards. The linksys is a wireless-gx4 card (the mimo card) and the belkins are both pre-n and draft-n. I'm just wondering if there's hope for using them with linux.
