hello. i am a new haiku user, just installed it on my old notebook and its awesome os. i was wondering is it possible to connect to wifi network by d-link wifi adapter? ive tried to find some info but manuals that i found can be used only for internal wifi adapters. can anyone help me with it please? thanx
You can try:
find out first if your d-link is supported:
Click on: Haiku Menue(Blue Leaf): Desktop applets/NetworkStatus and istall it. Right click and look if your wifi is shown…
Open network preferences… choose Modus: CHPC
You have to use WEP or no!!! Security in your Router settings to make it work:
After you choose WEP in your Router Preferences you can protect your wifi with the setwep command used in the Terminal.
setwep /dev/net/Dlink/0 DLinkName WEP13digitpassword
for basic encription (WEP)
Good luck…
Maybe someone else can help you better…
Try also to type ipconfig in the Terminal window to see your devices…

ipconfig is a Windows only thing, For Linux, Haiku/BeOS its ifconfig.
Yes sorry about that…
it is ifconfig…
If nothing is shown your card is not recognized and will not work (is not supported now).
