Folks,

I have one of these cards in the Father-in-Law's KnoppMyth box R5F27 and using iwconfig and ifconfig the card is seen and appears to be working fine. I now need to get it to authentic using WPA.

I found this code as it relates to a DWL-G520 (in the file /etc/network/interfaces) :


But the card I have is not supported by the madwifi driver. Could someone help me set this up for WPA.

(I know this is a B only card, it is simply for internet access and copying stuff to the box)

You need to learn how to use the wpa_supplicant.

This is how I've set up my wpa_supplicant.conf with the names changed accordingly.

if you get a return from



The card is working. (Remembering eth1 could be wlan0, depending on what your system allocated as the name)

Hope that helps!

I had looked at trying to use wpa_supplicant, I had already created a config.

But after trying and doing a little bit more research I found that it would appear the card does not support WPA. Later revisions apparently do but the one I have unfortunately does not. I will have to source another card or see if we can go via cable.
