SOS WIFI wlan0 no such device
  • jeanjean December 2009
    hello, the worries of not throwing an old Compaq nx9005, I installed slitaz above. I met many problems. I'm installing a usb wifi adapter OvisLink Evo w542usb. I downloaded the linux drivers, and tried to install ... without success. I then tried the ndiswrapper solution and there is some better. The driver is installed, the hardware is detected, the link is established to wlan0 by ndiswrapper. But iwconfig persists and signs: wlan0 no such a device. So I can not go further. Also when I reboot, the key disappears every time. I must removes and delivers it to be seen again in lsusb.

    Can anyone help me, if not what adapter do i have to buy?

    Have you tried running ifconfig wlan0 up in a terminal yet?

    The old forum had many posts about playing with eth settings and defaults in conf files in /etc/ and then sometimes playing with start buttons in netbox.

Howdy, Stranger!
