Driver needed: Winbond W89C33 mPCI WLan-Adapter

Asked by Mineralwasser

Dear community,

I'm using a Medion 97300 notebook with the wlan-chip named on top of my request.

P.S.: Ndiswrapper didn't work with the windows drivers.

Please do the following:
- Type 'lspci' at a console and find the line for your card. This should be something like:
02:02.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection (rev 05)
- Now type 'lspci -n' and find the line with the same numbers at the beginning. In my case this would be:
02:02.0 0280: 8086:4220 (rev 05)
- Post both lines here
- If your wlan card is connected using usb, just post the relevant line from 'lsusb' output

NDISwrapper should be a 'last resort'. Also, make sure that you remove the drivers that you installed with NDISwrapper. What troubleshooting steps have you taken so we don't go through them again for you? Like have you tried Network Manager? What is the output of the following commands when entered into the terminal?

lspci

sudo lshw -C network

sudo iwconfig

forget my comment and use
sudo lshw -C network
as suggested instead, that does the job much better.

A friend of mine is a linux nerd, he installed ndiswrapper from source, but after a reboot ndiswrapper caused a kernel oops:

I still can't see the device and manufacturer id, could you please post the output from 'lspci -n', that combined with the lspci output should finally reveal the ids.

ndiswrapper doesn't list your device as supported and I was unable to find a project which tries to create a native linux driver. Please post on their mailing list and ask for support. http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=93482

Can you help with this problem?
