Hello,
I am trying to get the Trendnet TEW-424UB to work. I have hardware
version 3.1R which is based on the Realtek RTL8187B chip. I got the
latest wireless-testing git version. I added the Trendnet PID & VID to
drivers/net/wireless/rtl8187_dev.c (shown below) but I still can't it
to work.
static struct usb_device_id rtl8187_table[] __devinitdata = {
/* Realtek */
{USB_DEVICE(0x0bda, 0x8187)},
/* Netgear */
{USB_DEVICE(0x0846, 0x6100)},
{USB_DEVICE(0x0846, 0x6a00)},
/* HP */
{USB_DEVICE(0x03f0, 0xca02)},
/*Trendnet Vendor=0bda ProdID=8189*/
{USB_DEVICE(0x0bda, 0x8189)},
/* Sitecom */
{USB_DEVICE(0x0df6, 0x000d)},
{}
};
When I plug the adapter in I get this under /proc/bus/usb/devices
T: Bus=02 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=03 Cnt=01 Dev#= 3 Spd=480 MxCh= 0

The only other time I used wireless stuff under linux I used a distros
built in tools, so I hope I'm doing the config correctly. Here is what
I'm doing:
/sbin/iwconfig wlan0 key restricted MYKEY essid "ssid"
/sbin/ifconfig wlan0 up
/sbin/dhclient wlan0
Now #/sbin/iwconfig gives me this:
wlan0 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:""
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
Tx-Power=27 dBm
Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2352 B

Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0

I am using Fedora 8 on a x86_64 system. My initial goal in all this
was to get the adapter to work with my embedded linux project
(http://opencircuits.com/Linuxstamp), but when it didn't work there I
figured I'd try it on my host machine.
Has anyone else gotten the TEW-424UB to work?
thanks
Paul
