Re: No Wireless with TP-LINK TL-WN322G found
This is an English translation of the installation guide as shown in the Greek Ubuntu users forum (
ubuntu.opengr.netInstallation Instructions for the TP-LINK WN322G Wireless USB adapter
This is a guide for installing the TP-LINK WN322G Wireless USB adapter using ndiswrapper!
Step 01: Plug in you usb wifi adapter in a usb port. Run the command sudo apt-get install ndisgtk at the terminal.
Step 02: Run the command sudo ndisgtk
Step 03: An new window by the name “Wireless Network Drivers” pops up. Click on the “Install New Driver” button. A new window “Install Driver” pops up and ask us to point to the location of the inf file.
Step 04: Insert the drivers CD that came with the wireless adapter into the CD-ROM and in the select inf file dialog select the file “ZD1211BU.INF” which resides in the directory “\TL-WN322G\Win98_ME_2K_XP_X64\Driver Files\WinXP”. Ubuntu finishes the installation.
Step 05: In the NM-APPLET ( the notification area applet for managing your network devices and connections – the one with the two computers icon) you can select the wireless network that you want to connect to.
That's it! It should work now!
Notes:
(1)If you want to install the drivers in a computer that is not connected to the internet you can download the 3 necessary packages ( ndisgtk_0.8.3-1_i386.deb , ndiswrapper-common_1.50-1ubuntu1_all.deb , ndiswrapper-utils-1.9_1.50-1ubuntu1_i386.deb) from another computer (that is already connected to the internet) and copy them to the /var/cache/apt/archives directory. Now you can issue the sudo apt-get install ndisgtk command in the terminal and the package will be installed without the need of downloading packages from the internet. (Those packages are also available in the Ubuntu DVD)
Many thanks to the guys at the Ubuntu-gr forum.
