Re: Topcom Skyr@cer USB Stick
You need to determine which chipset it uses - that brand name means nothing to me, and probably to many others. Once you have that information, you can decide which driver to use.

Re: Topcom Skyr@cer USB Stick
Card: Topcom Wireless USB Stick 54 Mbps - V2
Chipset: SiS163u
usbid: 0d8e:0163
Driver: Tested with different versions of the sis163u.sys driver.
Other: Kernel: 2.6.13-gentoo-r3 (Genkernel generated, 4k_stack, SMP & Preempt disabled) Ndiswrapper 1.15: I had to replace the Gentoo net.wlan0 rc-script with my own modified version, because with the original, only version v1.05 of the sis163u driver works and it has some association problems. remark: USB stick connected to USB 1.1 port.
i'm searching on that now
EDIT
On the site of SiS i only could find this driver "SiS160 Wireless LAN driver for Linux platform"

Re: Topcom Skyr@cer USB Stick
OK, ndiswrapper looks like the answer, as it's not natively supported in Linux. The wiki should have everything you need to get you going.

Re: Topcom Skyr@cer USB Stick
OK, but if i have to use nsdiswrapper i need a .sys or a .inf-file. But where do i get that ???

Re: Topcom Skyr@cer USB Stick

Re: Topcom Skyr@cer USB Stick
