Any drivers for Cisco Linksys AE2500 USB wifi adapter?

This has been asked before, but is there not some sort of simple driver you can install in the terminal to make it work?

1 Answer

1. Download Windows XP drivers from CISCO and save the .inf,sys and bin files.
2. Download ndiswrapper and extract it with: tar -xvf ndiswrapper-xxx (replace xxx to match your downloaded file).
3. Change to the directory created by tar: cd ndiswrapper-xxx

4. Execute the following commands one after the other:

   make
   make install
   ndiswrapper -i drivername.inf
   ndiswrapper -l ## to verify the installation---should show the driver(s) and device ID>
   modprobe ndiswrapper 

Reboot and see if there's any change.

If you have an old installation of ndiswrapper, you might want to remove it before starting all the above step.
