linux-wlan v0.2.5 driver for Intersil Prism2/2.5/3
for Puppy Linux v2 with kernel 2.6.16.7
from http://www.linux-wlan.org
compiled September 2006.

This Linux wireless driver package supports Conexant (formerly Intersil) Prism2/2.5/3 chipsets including Prism3 SSF, in PCI, PLX (PCI to PCMCIA), and USB devices.
The PCMCIA version of this driver will not compile for 2.6 kernels such as Puppy 2 has, however PCMCIA Prism2 devices are supported by the HostAP driver.  The HostAP driver also supports PCI/PLX devices.

This driver has been patched to support packet injection with Aircrack-ng.

linux-wlan-ng does not fully implement the wireless extensions interface.  This means that you can't use iwconfig (and you can't use WAG) to set up your wireless configuration, but a dedicated utility "wlanctl-ng" is used instead.


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

## load the driver
modprobe prism2_usb  ## or prism2_pci or prism2_plx
## if no error messages, this should create a network interface, wlan0
## can check this by running ifconfig -a
## now set up the wireless network
## If a wireless channel is to be defined -
#wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_wlansniff enable=false channel xx
#wlanctl-ng wlan0 p2req_channel_info_results channel xx

wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=enable
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_hostwep decrypt=true encrypt=true
wlanctl-ng wlan0 dot11req_mibset mibattribute=dot11PrivacyInvoked=true
wlanctl-ng wlan0 dot11req_mibset mibattribute=dot11WEPDefaultKeyID=0
wlanctl-ng wlan0 dot11req_mibset mibattribute=dot11ExcludeUnencrypted=true
wlanctl-ng wlan0 dot11req_mibset mibattribute=dot11WEPDefaultKey0=01:23:45:67:89
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_autojoin ssid=MY_ESSID authtype=opensystem

## 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   # or whatever your router's IP is
