Belkin Share Wireless USB Adapter F7D2101 v1

DiabloRojo · January 20, 2011, 8:04pm

I use openSUSE 11.3 with KDE 4.4 and I have a Belkin Share Wireless USB Adapter (F7D2101 v1) , I attached the adapter and rebooted the system, it does not work. Can someone help me configure?

I attached the adapter and the system says:

dmesg | tail

The manufacturer is Realtek, but it not says the driver.

I searched online and in the Ubuntu forum says this: [ubuntu] Belkin F7D2101 USB Adapter - Ubuntu Forums](http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1515747)
What I can apply it in openSUSE 11.3?

Thanks.

Post output of

uname -a

Post the output of

find /lib/modules -iname "r8192*"

Is there another way to connect to the internet (cable?)

There are at least two maybe three ways to get this adapter working, I would choose the most convenient one, at least for the permanent solution of this problem.

The above information is essential, no matter what solution will be the winner in the end.

To answer 3) myself:

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 07d1:3c03 D-Link System DWL-G122 802.11g Adapter [ralink rt73]

Obviously yes.

DiabloRojo · January 20, 2011, 9:17pm

My uname -a:

Linux linux-5el3 2.6.34.7-0.7-default #1 SMP 2010-12-13 11:13:53 +0100 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

My find /lib/modules -iname "r8192"*

/lib/modules/2.6.34.7-0.7-default/kernel/drivers/staging/rtl8192e/r8192e_pci.ko

Yes, I use other wireless device:

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 07d1:3c03 D-Link System DWL-G122 802.11g Adapter [ralink rt73]
This adapter use the ndiswrapper driver because the rt73usb driver not work fine

When I do the test with the Belkin wireless, I disconnect the D-Link wireless.

Thanks, Akoellh

That driver should work. At least it does for my G-Link DWA-130, which uses the
same wireless chip.

Wow, wow… Now the device works but it not is fine.

If I disconnect the other D-Link wireless and I attached the adapter in my PC and , the system says:

If I connect to a wireless network encrypted with WPA/PSK via DHCP, the device does not work because the key isn’t associated and the IP is not correct.

Now if I connect to a wireless network open, it works if I associate the ESSID manually. Click on the image.

O How did you get this information?. I would like to learn how to find that information.

The MAC address from your dmesg output is strange. Could you please download the
kernel from

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_Factory/i586/kernel-desktop-2.6.37-40.1.i586.rpm

and install it with the command

sudo rpm -i kernel-desktop-2.6.37-40.1.i586.rpm

You will now have two additional items in your GRUB menu. Now reboot into this
2.6.37 kernel and retry your F7D2101 device.

Akoellh · January 22, 2011, 10:20am

I think there might be a very simple “non-technical” reason for that.

The OP added blanks on purpose to avoid transformation of data into smileys (maybe because he didn´t know of [noparse]

[/noparse]-Tags).

DiabloRojo · January 22, 2011, 1:43pm

Wow, wow… rotfl!. Now the dispositive is works fine. This theme is SOLVED for me.

I install the kernel-desktop-2.6.37-41.1.i586.rpm because the kernel-desktop-2.6.37-40.1.i586.rpm is missed.

In the key of my iwconfig appears asterisks but it works fine.

lo        no wireless extensions.

Yes, that was the cause of the strange MAC.

Sorry for repeating it.
I insist like you obtained that information.

Akoellh · January 22, 2011, 4:38pm

VENDORID=050d

for i in $(find /lib/modules/`uname -r` -name "*.ko") ; do echo "$i" && /sbin/modinfo "$i"|grep -i "$VENDORID" |grep -i "$DEVICEID" ; done | while read ; do grep -B1 alias ; done

P.S.

@Larry

You have mail, hopefully the patch I sent you applies, sometimes signing the mail cryppled patches.

If not, I will resend the patch without signing the mail.

Glad it is working. At least the official version of the in-kernel driver functions.

When you are going to post the output of an iwconfig command, it is better not
to run it as root, but as a normal user use the command ‘/usr/sbin/iwconfig’.
That way you will not inadvertently publish your wireless key to the world and
compromise your wifi security.

@Akoellh: Thanks for the help and the script.

@lwfinger: Thanks for the help.
