BerliOS at76c503a driver for Atmel AT76C503A/505/505A wireless USB devices
for Puppy Linux v2 with kernel 2.6.16.7
from http://at76c503a.berlios.de
compiled July 2006, from CVS source code

There are 7 different drivers in this package.
A compatibility list is at the end of this README, with reference to model name and manufacturer/device id.

See http://at76c503a.berlios.de/devices.html for additional notes on device compatibility.  There are some models of Atmel-based USB devices which are not supported by these drivers, but by the (earlier) atmelwlandriver instead.  Unfortunately, the atmelwlandriver package will not compile under Puppy2's 2.6.16.7 kernel.


INSTRUCTIONS  (this README is found in /root/my-applications)

## load the driver
modprobe at76c503-i3861 ## or one of the other modules
## if no error messages, this should create a network interface, wlan0
ifconfig wlan0 up  #(sometimes necessary)
## it should now be possible to use WAG (Wireless Access Gadget) to connect to a wireless network
## or continue to set up the wireless network manually -
iwconfig wlan0 essid MY_ESSID key 1234567890 mode managed
## for automatic IP
## first remove stale dhcpcd file if it exists
rm /etc/dhcpc/*.pid
dhcpcd -t 30 -h puppypc -d wlan0
## or for static IP
## modify /etc/resolv.conf to include your nameservers
#ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.xx broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0
#route add default gw 192.168.0.1 wlan0   # or whatever your router's IP is

A script is provided with these commands; /root/my-applications/bin/at76c503-connect
Just modify the script to include your wireless settings.
