Hello,
I have configured my wireless network card (ASUS WL-138G V2) and I believe I have done everything correctly>
The problem I have is i simply don’t know how to find my network. There are currently no machines connected to the router by wireless but one(this one) by ethernet cable.
Please help!!!
You probably have done everything correctly. The ASUS WL-138G V2 has
an error in the programming of the SPROM that keeps the radio from
working. Please copy and paste the following set of commands and post
the output:
SPROM=$(find /sys -name ssb_sprom)
echo $SPROM
sudo cat $SPROM
When I get your results, I will change the critical encoding and post
the new SPROM contents and the instructions for applying them.

This is the terminal output from all 3 commands
linux-l5hr:~ # SPROM=$(find /sys -name ssb_sprom)
linux-l5hr:~ # echo $SPROM
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:03:09.0/ssb_sprom

To fix your problem, copy the following line of text (the whole
thing), and paste it into a file named sprom.new. It should be on one
line - wrap-arounds are OK, but no newline characters. My mailer may
add some spaces. If it does, they need to be removed.

After you have prepared the file, run the following commands.
SPROM=$(find /sys -name ssb_sprom)
echo $SPROM
sudo cp sprom.new $SPROM
If the 3rd line gives you an error message, please recheck the
contents of sprom.new. If you cannot get it, please send me a PM with
your email address, and I will mail you the file.
Once you have successfully updated the SPROM, your wifi should work
right away.

my email address is bobwozere12345@aol.com
the machine I am using doesn’t have internet so I will have to pick up the email on a windows machine.
Will that make a difference?
Many Thanks
