Thompson speedtouch 121G on unbuntu ultimate

Skifer UK · 07-29-2008, 11:50 AM

Hey guys,

I want to set up Linux ubuntu ultimate on the family pc downstairs but I wanted to make sure the wireless worked on it before I installed it but is there any Linux drivers out there for a Thompson speedtouch 121g? or is there anyway around it?

It will work using the Windows drivers with "ndiswrapper"

Here is a link to installing it Ndiswrapper. It has a lot of other good information too.

Cheers!

I'm a bit confused here guy's

I'm going to start from scratch I've decided to use ubuntu 8.04 instead of the ultimate version.

Now I have a pc upstairs with internet access so I can download all the necessary data from there but I can only transfer them via USB to the downstairs pc because i will using a live CD just to make sure everything works before i install.

So I need to make sure that my printer works and my wireless connection works also can you please explain a set of instructions I need to follow in order to do this please? I installed the ndiswrapper but I don't know what I need to do next.

EDIT:

I managed to install the drivers for the adapter but I don't know how to connect to my router from here

In the network connections manager, choose the wireless adapter, and key in your SSID and security settings.

Nothing is in there just a wired connection and the point to point connection for a modem.

The hardware is being detected and i made sure it was working in the terminal any ideas?.
