Thanks, I will try that SOFTMAC driver. I thought about that before, because Netgear provides only one driver (a Softmac driver) for both versions of the WG511 (Made in China and made in Taiwan) (see here: http://de.gentoo-wiki.com/WG511) > You only need a firmware: > http://daemonizer.de/prism54/prism54-fw/fw-softmac/lmac_2.7.0.0.arm > (rename it to "isl3886" and put it in the right place). I did some further test with different firmware versions using Windows which I reported in the prism54.org Forum, but the posting is gone (the Link doesn't work anymore perhaps it was removed by an admin?) I will try to summarize it here: - first of all, I use the Netgear WG511 FULLMAC version (Made in Taiwan) - The best encryption of the (Fullmac) firmware is WPA2 + TKIP. (1.0.4.3.arm) - The windows driver on Netgear Homepage for WG511 contains a Softmac Firmware (2.4.12.0.arm) included in WG511ICB.sys and supports only WPA + TKIP - I tried to use the driver from MC2835WV2-V3_112WW.zip (2.13.1.0.arm) included in 2835wc51.sys for my Netgear card successfully with WPA2 + AES using windows or Linux with Ndiswrapper - I found another firmware (2.13.8.0.arm) which is not listed on http://daemonizer.de/prism54/prism54-fw/ If someone knows how to extract the firmware from the windows driver (named wlanCIG.sys) you can get it here: http://www.funkwerk-ec.com/portal/downloadcenter/dateien/FEC_W-Clients/FEC_W-Client_CB_PCI_mPCI_11g_v3320_1.zip It works although fine with Netgear WG511 and WPA2 + AES encryption. Conclusion: It seems that Softmac firmware version greater than 2.13.x.x have WPA2 + AES Support, perhaps this helps for further development or reverse engineering of the firmware. (I could although provide debug traces from wpa_supplicant when using WPA2 + AES with ndiswrapper if that helps) Regards Stefan - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
