<> <> ## page was renamed from WifiDocs/BuffaloWLIL11GUSB These are instructions to install the Buffalo WLI-USB-L11G under Ubuntu Breezy 5.10 + Hoary 5.04. I assume you have installed the kernel and have booted into it. You will need some packages from the internet so you have to find out a way to get them. 1. Download the driver from http://folk.uio.no/oeysteio/orinoco-usb/RPMS/orinoco-usb-0.2.2-2_generic.src.rpm 2. Install the necessary packages for kernel module compilation with{{{ apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r` }}} 3. Open the rpm with some application like FileRoller or if that doesn't work with unp:{{{ sudo apt-get install rpm unp unp orinoco-usb-0.2.2-2_generic.src.rpm }}} 4. Unpack the archive to some handy location:{{{ tar jvxf orinoco-0.2.2.tar.bz2 }}} 5. Go into the new directory{{{ cd orinoco-0.2.2}}} and run {{{ make && sudo make install }}} 6. If there was no error message, you are done. Hotplug should load the module at the next startup. Alternatively, you can load the module by hand with {{{ modprobe orinoco_usb }}}If you get an error at this point, you may need to unload the old module first{{{ rmmod orinoco hermes }}}and try to load it again. ---- CategoryHardware CategoryNetworking CategoryWireless
