To shuijiaolea:
帮你找到了ibm的无线网卡的驱动了, 不过现在只有cvs版的, 还没有提供tar等压缩格式的下载(后来看来看, 还是有的, 当时没找到 )
这是介绍:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/madwifi/
下面是主页(下面那段英文就是那里拷贝下来的, 考虑到访问比较慢就直接贴出来了):
http://madwifi.sourceforge.net/
What is it?
MADWiFi is short for Multiband Atheros Driver for WiFi. In other words: this project provides a Linux kernel driver for Atheros-based Wireless LAN devices. The driver works such that your WLAN card will appear as normal network interface in the system. Additionally there is support for the Wireless Extensions API. This allows you to configure the device using the usual tools (ifconfig, iwconfig and friends).
Some of the driver´s key features are:
* Allows operation as station, AP, ad-hoc, monitor. WDS is work in progress.
* Supports Wireless Extensions API.
* One driver for miniPCI and cardbus devices. USB devices are not yet supported.
* Most of the current Atheros WLAN chipsets are supported.
* Supports WEP and WPA/802.11i.
* Support for 802.1x authentication in AP mode.

How can I get it?
MADWiFi is work in progress and currently there is no production release available yet. This doesn´t mean that you can´t use the driver - but you will need a little knowledge about getting source via CVS, compiling kernel and drivers, and similar stuff.
You should also be aware that, although the CVS versions of MADWiFi usually are pretty stable, bugs may occur here and there. If you run in any trouble be sure to check the section called "It doesn´t work... help!".
Before getting the source, please make sure your system meets the following requirements:
* WLAN interface that uses Atheros chipset (this, this or this list might help)
* a current kernel version of series 2.4 or 2.6
* wireless extensions version 14 or later (version 16 is preferred)
* target kernel needs to have sysctl support turned on
* crypto API support turned on with HMAC and MD5, if you want to use the 802.1x authenticator
* hotplugd, if you want to use a Cardbus card
* the utility uudecode is also needed during compilation (distributions usually have this in a package called sharutils)
All conditions fulfilled? Fine, then you are ready to go.
The current version of MADWiFi can be retrieved from CVS with the following command:
[code:1]
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/madwifi \
co madwifi
[/code:1]
Alternatively you can grab a CVS snapshot as .tar.bz2 or .tar.gz archive. Older versions (ranging back to 2004-09-24) are also available, refer to http://madwifi.otaku42.de for that.
After downloading the source, refer to the README file in the source tree (or read it online). It contains useful instructions about compiling, configuring and trouble-shooting the driver. |
