Hi,

I am trying to install the D-Link DWL-120+ on a redhad linux 2.4.7-10.

I downloaded two sources the actual atmel driver and the version
20021209.

I compiled several versions of the driver but no one initialized when
pugging in the usb device.

When I plug in the device dmesg says vid/pid are 0x2001/0x3b01.

* When running 'make config' I choose NO for all options but for USB
support and for the radio option I wanted to try.
* Each try, I added the according vid/pid setting to
src/includes/usb/config.h
* Between trying the settings I modprobe -r <tryed driver>
   and rm /lib/modules/2.4.7-10/kernel/drivers/usb/usbvnet*.o
* I have installed iwconfig, but there appears no eth1 with wlan
extension.
* Since I do not know the radio type of the DWL-120+ I tryed both
versions of the driver.
- 20021209 & intersil 3861 & vid/pid 2001/3b01
- 20021209 & intersil 3861 & vid/pid 03eb/7603
   (imitating settings for the DWL-120)
- 20021209 & intersil 3863 & vid/pid 2001/3b01
- latest & RFMD & vid/pid 2001/3b01
- latest & RFMD R505 & vid/pid 2001/3b01
- latest & RFMD R505 + 2958 & vid/pid 2001/3b01

When I try the intersil, just nothing happens after pugging in the
device. When I try the RFMD driver I got the following 'dmesg':

Linux version 2.4.7-10 (bhcompile-uWM25sDr5Q6xN5x57xiSHB/[email protected]) (gcc

...

hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/2/4, assigned device number 11
<here>

usb.c: USB disconnect on device 11
usbdevfs: USBDEVFS_CONTROL failed dev 11 rqt 128 rq 6 len 18 ret -84

That means the lines after <here> appear, when i unplug the usb wlan
device.

With R505 the list of frame# is even much longer and hub.c disconnected
and reconnected even my usb logitech mouse.

Does anyone have experience with a DWL-120+ or can someone help ?

Thanks,
Thomas
