Using d-link wifi adapter on haiku

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).
