Hello!
I've been going through hell with linux wireless. I have a 2wire router that I want to connect to via my WNA1000M wireless dongle. I'm using Debian 7.0 Wheezy.
I got the WNA1000M set up so that it can see the 2wire, but when I try to connect, it keeps asking for the key (WEP) over and over.
Any ideas on what I should do?
Thanks,
3vilp4wn.

Have you tried connecting via iwconfig?
Now I have, and still no luck :(
Here's what I did:
iwconfig wlan0 mode managed key 0123456789
iwconfig wlan0 essid "2WIRE123"
dhclient wlan0

Is that really your WEP key?

No, but I replaced it with my WEP key when I executed the command. :P

You have a chipset that can be real bitch on linux.
The rtl81xx series , especially the USB variants are terrible.
You should look for people that have similar problems, maybe there is a driver that does work properly.

Since ubuntu is debian, try this?

I'm using this (http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/firmware-realtek) driver atm.

I attempted to use those drivers once, but the install.sh didn't work. It gave an error about not having make installed.
If you think you could help me with that, I can post the output of install.sh
Thanks,

apt-get install make ?? Maybe you are missing some more dependencies. Just try it and install whats missing. Maybe you need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list. I think you will need at least build-essential and gcc.. but I am not sure about it. Keep trying :)

Erm, the issue with apt-get install make is that I don't have internet.
Is there any way that apt-get could tell me the url's I need to use (including dependencies)?
Thanks,

uh.. no Internet?!? Can't you just plug in a cable? Never done it this way but here you can search for packets and it lists the dependencies too.
http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages#view
make for example:
http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=make&searchon=names&suite=stable§ion=all
At the bottom of the page you can download the make debian package for different platforms. When you try to install it with dpkg -i package.deb it will tell you if you have all required packages installed.

I've done that a couple of times before, but last time I checked make had a shit ton of dependencies. Looks simple enough now though so, I'll try it :)

Yes and before even thinking about messing with driver installs etc... update!
Make sure you have the latest kernel.
Ive seen so many people try messing around with drivers only to find out something was already fixed.
Sure you must be able to plug it into ethernet somewhere?

The plan is a fresh install of 7.0 Wheezy then do my driver shit if I need to.

I don't have a cable long enough :( I could buy one, but I'd prefer not.
I could move my computer, but again, moving it sucks, and is a last resort.

Double post because I want to bump it.
Here's the result of install.sh as root:
Pastebin, since it's so huge... (http://pastebin.com/L4EaHevb)
Make *runs* this time, so it's a start :-\

Just to be sure, what did you use and try to connect with?
Personally I think a lot af GUI network managers kinda suck.

I'm curious if you ever got problem worked out?
