D-Link DWL-650+ and ndiswrapper

Hello everyone   
So after days and days of researching and fiddling around and still no wireless, I figured it's about time I should simply ask and see if I can get it to work.
Let me start with short summary of my dilenma:
The computer I have is a Dell Inspiron 8200 with P4M 2.2Mhz CPU, 756MB RAM, nVidia GeForce4 440 Go with 64MB RAM, 40G HD laptop, dual-booting with WinXP (wireless works on XP, and I need this connection for studies and research. Windows resides on my HD only because of that). I use a D-Link DWL-650+ AirPlus card (yes, not so Linux friendly card, I know ), works perfectly fine on Windows, and ndiswrapper installs the driver and hardware is detected on Arch. Installation, modprobe have been already done, and iwconfig tells me
lo        no wireless extensions.
sit0      no wireless extensions.
eth0      no wireless extensions.

The key, mode and security mode were put in by me, ESSID, AP and others were picked up by the card. So the card is scanning and picks up the signal. iwlist wlan0 scan shows:

All is good so far, so I do "ifconfig wlan0 up" and this shows up:

Looks okay. So I kill the eth0 connection, and try to ping, I get:
[root@Brahms ndiswrapper-0.10]# ping www.apple.com
ping: unknown host www.apple.com
Okay...So I suppose even though the card picks up the signal, it's not connected, right? /etc/rc.d/network start (or restart for that matter) comes up "fail". I am lost at this point. Probably some configuration error somewhere but I don't know much about networking and I've been trying different things, check the web for clue, but so far nothing worked. While trying to connect through wireless, no firewall was used.
If someone could point me to the right direction, I would really appreciate it. Not all things iwconfig and ifconfig make sense to me really. At one point, I got so discouraged, I was contemplating on installing Mandrake again (I'm still a newbie though. I used Mandrake 10 Official for a couple of weeks back in June, and then moved to Arch, getting my hands dirty. It has been a wonderful experience for me so far )
Before it gets too long, I would like to thank you in advance 
polarrr
p.s. What are those TX/RX Packets errors?! I suppose...errors, eh?

I'm very sorry for the late reply! First of all, thank you so much for the pointers.
Just today, I finally got it to work. I have been busy and I was actually away from computer for a couple of weeks, finally got around to get some going. I've copied and pasted the default gw, inet addr and so on from my Windows wireless configuration program, and talaan! It worked   
Thank you so much.

  • Dell notebook with d-link DWL-650+ card can't connect to Airport

    I bought a new iMac G5 (with the intel duo) and an Airport Extreme. Sweet. No problems with either one. My son has a dell notebook (running Windows ME) with a D-Link DWL-650+ wireless card in it. (its a b card). I can see my airport network from this dell, but when I try to connect, it does nothing. The airport is configured for both b and g and this same Dell can connect to my neighbors wireless network just fine. My neighbor has a d-link b/g wireless router. Just wondering what the heck the problem could be. My neighbors laptop with built-in g can connect to my Airport fine. Is it because its an old b card or somthing? Any ideas?
    Thanks! Shako

    Did you open Airport and see if you see the wireless router? If you can see it, you can select it and then make sure it is set up properly in networks in the system prefs.

  • Setting up D-Link DWL-G710 wireless extender

    We have some wireless blackspots in our house so I'm trying to set up a wireless range extender. I bought the D-Link DWL-G710 which I imagined would work with my D-Link wireless router (DI624). I can get the computer to talk to the DWL-G710 and run through the set-up wizard but then - nothing. As soon as I remove the ethernet cable the DWL-G710 WLAN light goes out. I have been searching the internet to no avail - all I can glean is that this is an incredibly problematic device. Any help gratefully received. I know it has something to do with assigning static IP addresses but I'm missing some steps.
    Thanks!

    Don’t know if it will help but read this review: http://www.mandladventures.com/2006/09/21/d-link-dwl-g710-wireless-range-extende r-review/

  • Patch for D-Link DWL-122

    I tried installing my DWL-122 adaptor. The installation worked but when I tried to open D-link with system preferences, I got a notice saying D-link panel could not be opened in systems preference. I contacted D-link and they told me to call apple and ask for a patch to connect D-link to version 1.32. Any ideas? What the heck is a patch?

    hiya,
    just to let u know i have the same d link dwl 122. i have had no problems with the adapter as i have used a 3rd party driver that u will find below on this link.
    http://macupdate.com/info.php/id/15997
    This adapter is know to have problems but this fixes it all as it has now made the d link dwl-122 a cheap partner for wireless networks.
    hope this is what u r looking 4.
    As for the memory u must switch off the ibook and open the keyboard via the latches near the esc and f12 buttons. then to open up the airport slot and then just plug in the new memory. see user manual that came witht the ibook.
    kind regards

  • D-link DWL- G122 (v C1) troubleshooting help needed

    I am really trying to sort out my wireless connection (on my G4 Powerbook Titanium) via a d-link DWL- G122 ( version C1). It used to work OK. Now it doesn't. This could be due to: upgrading to 10.4.8 from 10.3.9? (can't really remember if the connection dropped from that time) Neighbour setting up a wireless router? (but I've tried switching channels).
    Now, I'm using the RA driver, which is 10.4 compatible. I've also downloaded and tried the d-link 10.4 driver for this model (via the Canadian site). I've tried both, and both 'sometimes' work and sometimes don't.
    The frustrating thing is that if I ever get a connection which stays with me, it's 100% good and solid as a rock. When it's like this I've walked all over the house with the powerbook and it works in every room. So I KNOW it can be great.
    Usually though, there is no signal detected. Or it detects a signal, but when I highlight it and press connect the signal disappears. Or it will connect for 20 seconds and then the signal disappears. But like I say, on the rare occassion it detects a signal, lets me connect and stays connected it will be solid as a rock. Even if the tibook goes to sleep and wakes up. But if I do a restart I will be back to square one, no signal, maybe a signal... even if the dongle and computer has not moved at all.
    Now, I'm thinking it could have something to do with Network prefs. If I go to Prefs/Network and select automatic for location, and 'show Network status' I get an amber light in the box below, next to Ethernet Adaptor (en1) (which I think is the dongle). Next to this it says:
    Ethernet adaptor (en1) is currently active. Ethernet adaptor (en1) has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the internet.
    Is that a clue?
    If I select Location - Automatic, and Show: Ethernet Adaptor (en 1) I get a box with TCP/IP/PPPoE/Apple Talk/Proxies/Ethernet across the top. In the TCP/IP section there is 'configure IPv4: using DHCP' but there is no IP address and nothing else in any of the boxes you are able to add things.
    Should it have an IP address in there? If it should how can I add one? If anyone can help you will have to explain things in a clear and straightforward manner as I know nothing about Network settings. If you've got this far THANKS FOR READING, and if you are going to try to help me then YOU ARE A GOD!(or Goddess of course)
    I'd love to sort this, I know I could just throw in the towel and buy a 3rd prty cardbus thingy, or even an airport card (if I can get one!) but I love a challenge. Been experimenting on this for two days now, just trying to find a common thing as to why it sometimes connects but mostly doesn't and I'm stumped. Grrrrrr.... I only bought this d-link because December Mac World said it was a plug and play wireless dongle, and being a novice I trusted them.
    By the way, my router is a Netgear DG834G v2.

    Me again. I've fiddled with this thing so much I've lost track of exactly what I've done and undone. But this much is true: Currently running on the ralink driver. In Network Port Configurations I deselected all except Ethernet Adaptor (en1) which I also dragged to the top (this seemed to help - thanks BDAqua!). And I have to unplug on restart and only plug in again when I see the desktop (including dock) - this I learnt from another forum. Then I get a signal in wireless utility, which connects straight away and stays rock solid.
    But I've found a few interesting things. It seems to be a problem with the stick finding the right IP address.
    When I've got my rock solid connection and I check my Prefs/Network/Automatic/Network Status it shows a green light and tells me the Ethernet Adaptor (en 1) (which is the d-link stick) is currently active and has the IP address of xxx.xxx.x.x. And I am connected to the Internet via Ethernet Adaptor (en 1).
    If I restart and don't unplug/plug in the stick the Wireless Utility can't find a signal. If I then check the Prefs/Network/Automatic/Network Status it shows an amber light and tells me the Ethernet Adaptor (en 1) (which is the d-link stick) is currently active But it has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the internet. When I check the self-assigned IP address it's completely different from one above.
    Now, that got me thinking that I could manually put in the address, which I tried (still in Automatic). Pressed Apply Now. But still couldn't get a signal in the wireless utility box. I rechecked Prefs/Network/Automatic/Network Status and it tells me I am connected! But when I try to open a page in a browser the browser tells me I'm not.
    So then I tried to make a New Location - thinking that I could just switch to that instead of having to restart/unplug/plug. Added all info manually (which I'd copied when I had a good connection in Automatic) - so to all intents and purposes it was exactly the same as the Automatic/Ethernet adaptor (en 1) setting. But the result was the same as para above- no signal in wireless utility box, but it thinks it's connected.
    I'm no expert but that doesn't make sense to me.
    If anyone can add any info that would be good. Just trying to solve this plugging/unplugging business. But at least it's working via the tedious unplugging/plugging technique.

  • Wallstreet + D-Link DWL-G630

    Awhile back I was playing with linux on my Wallstreet and I got a D-Link DWL-G630 Wifi card to play with Wifi on it and I was wondering if anyone knew how to make it work in Mac OSX 10.3.9. Its a Atheros based card and I have already tried OrangeWare with no luck, if anyone could help me get this card working it would be much appreciated

    scsi man,
    I see the card is not listed as supported, but as they note other Atheros-based cards may still work.
    Since you are running 10.3.9 and may have updated to 10.3.9 via the standalone installer, have you run Software Update? There are two AirPort files that are available from S.U. that correct a problem with WiFi PC cards that first developed in 10.3.7 and/or 10.3.8. It may still not solve your problem but at least you will be up-to-date.

  • POST failure D-Link DWL-520+ Wireless

    Problem after adding D-link DWL-520+ wireless card.  MSI 6195 Slot A BIOS A6195KMS V1.3, AThlon, WIN98SE with latest updates.
    Fails in post 0101 VGA.  But is not entirely consistent.
    Removed all cards except ATI RAGE II problem persists but can boot 10% of time.
    Removed DWL-520+ and booted to alter memory range of ATI card.  Can now boot reliably and have wireless card working.  However system remains a little unstable with random lookouts.
    Second DWL-520+ gives same symptoms.
    Any suggestions please?

    In fact D-link came up with the later driver (which incidently is freely available at http://www.dlink.com.tw).  So I made just one more attempt.
    In between times I also tried this card in an ABit machine and it liked it even less!
    So on about the 17th boot of the MSI6195 Win98 loaded and then after a while it locked up.  This process corrupted the Windows registry so badly that SCANREG was unable to recover the situation.
    I am therefore returning my D-link 22Mbps PCI card and have instead deployed a Linksys USB adapter.  This interworks quite well with the remaining D-link PCMIA card and router.  Obviously this will be at 11Mbps instead of the planned 22Mpbs.  But that seems to be the price of reliability!
    I can recommend the Linksys USB unit.  It's compact, USB powered and has one little wrinkle if anyone is interested.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Link between Delivery and Sales Order Schedule Line

    Hi Gurus,
    I have a requirement in which i need to display quantity and amount at schedule line level and also the delivery and delivery item for each schedule line.
    For example, if there is a sales order O1 and item 10 for which we have 3 schedule lines and 3 deliveries as well say D1, D2 and D3.
    Report should be something like this
    Sales Order    Item   Schedule Line    Delivery    Del Item   Confirmed Order Qty
    O1                 10      1                       D1           10            5
    O1                 10       2                      D2            10            5
    O1                 10       3                      D3            10            4
    How can i determine that a particular delivery corresponds to which schedule line of that saler order-item?
    We have the link between delivery and sales order but is there any way that we can get the link of delivery at schedule line level?
    Please help.
    Regards,
    Gaurav

    Hi,
    I suppose you must check with SD functional consultant and the post should also be in the logistics SD forum and not BI. But I suppose there is know specific link between the schedule line of SO to the Delivery. It is more like a bucket flow for ex.
    Sale order   Item    Schedule line  qty
    SO1            Item1     Sch1            10
    SO2            Item1      Sch2           10
    Delivery Item QTy
    DO1       IT1   15
    DO2       IT1    5
    In this case qty 15 is distributed over both SO1 and SO2, and SO2 ITem1 Sch2 has link to both the DOs
    So I am not sure if you can establish a one to one link, please check with your SD consultants.
    Regards,
    Ashwin G

  • Link between sd and pp

    hi all,
      i have a problem regarding relation or link between sales and production order. i have to fetch production order number related to sales order number. i have checked in the table AFPO that is production order item table , there is field AFPO-KDAUF and AFPO-KDPOS ie, sales order and sales item. but when i see these two fields there is no data into the field so how can i get data into the table related to production order.can anyone help me on this issue.

    Please refer to the below links -
    https://forums.sdn.sap.com/post!reply.jspa?threadID=309885
    Integration points with MM/IM and PP are some of the following -
    When a Production order is created and released a reservation gets created for the materials in BOM
    When the reservation is created and materials are posted against the reservation with mvt type 311 these are transferred to the respective location.
    When a GR is posted with mvt type 101, the Finished or Semifinished goods are posted to the respective storage location and inventorized.
    When a consumption is posted with mvt type 261 then stock will get reduced in resepective storage location.
    When a batch determination is done in a production order basing on the batch search strategy and sort rule material, quantity and batch are selected.
    If WM is configured an associated internal movement for all the above movement types will be posted.
    During MRP, BOM which is a master data for PP is used to calculate the dependent requirements of materials.
    During availabilty check of a production order basing on the availability check configured materials will be selected and checked.
    Hope the above may help you.

  • 'Is there a link between OLM and iProcurement'

    I have been asked 'Is there a link between OLM and iProcurement'? The person posing the question is wanting to create trainers as suppliers and I know that the supplier information is shared between OLM and the A/P, A/R and G/L modules and I presume that the link to iProcurement will be via one of these modules however is there a more direct vanilla link between OLM and iprocurement?
    Any help would be great
    Thanks
    DM

    I am afraid there is no link between the iProc and OLM.
    The closest that apps can offer you is that your learner/delegates can be of type external i.e. being an Organization or a Customer. Hence there exists a link for your delegate to be a customer(hz_parties).
    However this might be a future integration i.e. Trainers being suppliers. I am saying so because in 11.5.10 there is a table named OTA_VENDOR_SUPPLIES that has reference to vendor_id. Currently this table is not being used by OLM.
    You may look into the code of packages OTA_VSP_API, OTA_TEA_BUS & OTA_PLE_BUS and see if Oracle's future functionality will converge towards your business requirement.

    Any idea ?
    Regards

    Yes Mr Ashish!
    As far as iam concern there is no link between Project & Customer Master, you have to link it with SALES order, I had check in XD03,XD01, the complete customer master, i didnt find any field in customer master which links with Project.
    I'll let you know if i find any links.
