SMC USB Wireless Adapter (Model SMCWUSB-G)Hi! I'm can't seem to find any previous similar solutions to this problem of mine in the forums. I have an SMC USB Wireless Adapter (Model SMCWUSB-G) which I bought for my desktop. It's plugged in now to my desktop (I'm using my notebook for this post). How do I get it to work? -STYNGERSMASH- »

Read this website and follow directions. You might be the
first person toget SMCWUSB-G working under MEPIS.
Well, Linux Kernel version 2.6.18 and up are supported. Mepis Kernel is 2.6.15 and is not supported.
I guess find a different Wireless Adapater with Linux Support

zd1211rw firmware distribution
By the way, I'm stress testing the latest zd1211rw included in the
kernel (2.6.18-1.2798.fc6-xen) with firmware snapshot dated 10-19-06
downloaded from http://www.deine-taler.de/zd1211

I found it doing a Yahoo.com search for SMCWUSB-G Linux driver
Here is the SMC website

I hope this helps a bit. Seems like a large number of USB wireless adapters use this chip set ZD1211. The software is
being worked from what I read on the GMANE mailing list.

http://home.kendra.com/tulip/mepis6 Setting up Wireless Screen shots i used the USB Wirelees-B Network adapter Linksys WUSB11 ver 2.6 and ver 2.8
with the at76C503 chipset.
The general settings in the screen snaps apply to most wireless setups. Turn off and disable ALL network interfaces. Then start the wlan0 interface.
