WNDA3100v2 not working

[cooper]

Binary package hint: gnome-nettool

With reference to question 122091; first, I thank the responder for the advice and effort to that question.

This is an effort to get a Netgear USB WNDAv2 wireless to work with Ubuntu 10.

1 - installed wine to extract the driver file from Netgear.
2 - downloaded WNDA3100v2 Software versions 1.7, 1.6, 1.2, 1.1 and 1.0. I did this because wine would not extract 1.1 through 1.7. I finally settled on 1.0 which ran through the setup.exe routine in wine.
3 - copied the WinXP2000 file with the following files to /usr/local

 -rwxrwxr-x 1 ferk ferk 7427 2009-06-08 11:52 bcmh43xx64.cat
-rwxrwxr-x 1 ferk ferk 7450 2009-06-08 11:52 bcmh43xx.cat
-rwxrwxr-x 1 ferk ferk 747008 2009-05-05 12:00 bcmwlhigh564.sys
-rwxrwxr-x 1 ferk ferk 167298 2009-05-15 11:58 bcmwlhigh5.inf
-rwxrwxr-x 1 ferk ferk 632576 2009-05-05 12:00 bcmwlhigh5.sys

4 - installed the latest version of ndiswrapper from sourceforge.

5 - ran ndiswrapper -i bcmwlhigh5.inf

6 - command ndiswrapper -l indicated both the device and the driver were present
7 - loading the ndiswrapper did not solve the connection problem; the wireless usb connection does not yet work. There is no output for wlan0 with the iwconfig command. This shows no wireless device to be present.

8 - blacklisted the following in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf to avoid any driver conflicts:

#conflict with ndsiwrapper
#(see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper)
blacklist bcm43xx
blacklist b43
blacklist b43legacy
blacklist ssb

NOW, an additional problem has popped-up. - Not only does the WNDA3100 still not work but I need to blacklist ndiswrapper at startup. Reason is that if the ndiswrapper module is loaded at boot, the main login screen no longer opens and I cannot login to the system. I need to boot into failsafe at the root level and blacklist ndiswrapper, then reboot the system.

If the ndiswrapper module is loaded at boot, I cannot even use the GUI failsafe mode as no login screen appears.

I have reinstalled the OS three times today. I can confirm absolutely that the system is completely current and that blacklisting ndiswrapper prior to booting is the core of the problem. It does not make any difference if I install ndiswrapper from Synaptic or from Sourceforge.

If a solution to this problem is found, please email me <email address hidden>

It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

[finnigan (ferkanyjw)]

I finally gave up on the Netgear hardware and installed a Linksys
equivalent. It worked out of the box.

[JohnnyLeitrim (johnnyleitrim)]

I have a similar problem. When I use ndiswrapper when my WNDA3100v2 is plugged in, then lsusb hangs forever. Only a reboot can stop it (kill -9 doesn't work). I've attached the output of strace, udevadm and dmesg for lsusb, and in the dmesg file you can see that ndiswrapper is reporting a bug in itself.

Hi Finnigan,

I am also tired of trying and today is my last refund day anyway, could you give me the reference of the linksys equivalent you are refering to?
Thanks!

[Fabio Marconi (fabiomarconi)]

Hello
Are you experiencing again this issue ?
Thanks
Fabio

[arkaitzswagman (arkaitzswagman)]

Hello Fabio,

I went back to the shop and change the wnda3100v2 for a Belkin FD74101v1, the seller did not know what chipset it was, so I gave it a try: it is the same chipset! (Broacom bcm4323)
I found this though:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ndiswrapper/index.php?title=Belkin_F7D4101v1
But i still did not get it to work on natty amd64 on a gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H
I tried the latest kernel, but did not manage to compile ndiswrapper from source (error 2)

BUT
it works fine on natty x86 on my NB30!
I did not try the wnda3100v2 on the x86, maybe it would have worked as well...
Good luck and thanks to everybody for any help!

[cooper (johnferk)]

Fabio,

No I am not but that is because I gave up on trying to resolve it a couple
of months back.

1 - I use version 11 Ubuntu at this time.
2 - my resolution to the issue at the time was to trash the Netgear wireless
card and replace it with a Linksys card. Someone in a forum commented that
that was a wimpy solution on my part. It might have been but then, the
Linksys card worked out of the box and without needing NDIS.

I never did figure out why ndis kept crashing things.

Hope that helps.

Best regards,
jwferk

  With reference to question 122091; first, I thank the responder for
  the advice and effort to that question.

  This is an effort to get a Netgear USB WNDAv2 wireless to work with
  Ubuntu 10.

  1 - installed wine to extract the driver file from Netgear.
  2 - downloaded WNDA3100v2 Software versions 1.7, 1.6, 1.2, 1.1 and 1.0. I
did this because wine would not extract 1.1 through 1.7. I finally settled
on 1.0 which ran through the setup.exe routine in wine.

  4 - installed the latest version of ndiswrapper from sourceforge.

  5 - ran ndiswrapper -i bcmwlhigh5.inf

  6 - command ndiswrapper -l indicated both the device and the driver were
present
  7 - loading the ndiswrapper did not solve the connection problem; the
wireless usb connection does not yet work. There is no output for wlan0 with
the iwconfig command. This shows no wireless device to be present.

  8 - blacklisted the following in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf to
  avoid any driver conflicts:

  #conflict with ndsiwrapper
  #(see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper)
  blacklist bcm43xx
  blacklist b43
  blacklist b43legacy
  blacklist ssb

  NOW, an additional problem has popped-up. - Not only does the WNDA3100
  still not work but I need to blacklist ndiswrapper at startup. Reason
  is that if the ndiswrapper module is loaded at boot, the main login
  screen no longer opens and I cannot login to the system. I need to
  boot into failsafe at the root level and blacklist ndiswrapper, then
  reboot the system.

  If the ndiswrapper module is loaded at boot, I cannot even use the GUI
  failsafe mode as no login screen appears...

Fabio,

I am still able to reproduce this problem. I attached a couple of files in my last comment with some debug of the problem happening. Is there any additional information you would like me to provide?

Regards,
Johnny

[arkaitzswagman (arkaitzswagman)]

Hello everybody,

Cooper, could you tell me what is the linksys card you are talking about?
Thanks

[Fabio Marconi (fabiomarconi)]

Hello JohnnyLeitrim
can you please tell me wich kernel are you running and if 32 or 64 bits
Thanks
Fabio

[JohnnyLeitrim (johnnyleitrim)]

Hi Fabio,

2.6.32 64bit, see the details below.

Johnny

[alricsca (alricsca)]

I can confirm this happens with 64bit Natty and Oneiric. I have read but not tested that this does work on 32bit which is the cause for so much confusion about it. One issue may be the drivers come in a mixed 32/64bit inf file so it might be loading the wrong one. When you plug it in ndisgtk and all related processes hang and the process cannot be killed without a reboot nor can you remove the module.

[JohnnyLeitrim (johnnyleitrim)]

That's a coincidence! I can conform what alricsca has said - it doesn't work on 64bit, but does on 32bit.
Interestingly, I removed ndiswrapper, and tried to use Windows on VirtualBox to talk to my Netgear USB, and when VirtualBox was accessing the device, all USB devices started hanging (including mouse/keyboard), and the machine more or less crashed - so it appears that whatever the problem is, it's not just related to ndiswrapper...

[cooper (johnferk)]

I just wanted to say that I truly appreciate the follow up on this post/bug.
It never even occurred to me that it might be a 62 bit problem. In
retrospect, the whole thing started when I made my 32 bit machine a network
server and installed a new 62 bit box as my desktop.

Thanks folks.

  2 - downloaded WNDA3100v2 Software versions 1.7, 1.6, 1.2, 1.1 and 1.0. I
did this because wine would not extract 1.1 through 1.7. I finally settled
on 1.0 which ran through the setup.exe routine in wine.
  3 - copied the WinXP2000 file with the following files to /usr/local

   -rwxrwxr-x 1 ferk ferk 7427 2009-06-08 11:52 bcmh43xx64.cat
  -rwxrwxr-x 1 ferk ferk 7450 2009-06-08 11:52 bcmh43xx.cat
  -rwxrwxr-x 1 ferk ferk 747008 2009-05-05 12:00 bcmwlhigh564.sys
  -rwxrwxr-x 1 ferk ferk 167298 2009-05-15 11:58 bcmwlhigh5.inf
  -rwxrwxr-x 1 ferk ferk 632576 2009-05-05 12:00 bcmwlhigh5.sys

  4 - installed the latest version of ndiswrapper from sourceforge.

  5 - ran ndiswrapper -i bcmwlhigh5.inf

  6 - command ndiswrapper -l indicated both the device and the driver were
present
  7 - loading the ndiswrapper did not solve the connection problem; the
wireless usb connection does not yet work. There is no output for wlan0 with
the iwconfig command. This shows no wireless device to be present.

  8 - blacklisted the following in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf to
  avoid any driver conflicts:

  #conflict with ndsiwrapper
  #(see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper)
  blacklist bcm43xx
  blacklist b43
  blacklist b43legacy
  blacklist ssb

  NOW, an additional problem has popped-up. - Not only does the WNDA3100
  still not work but I need to blacklist ndiswrapper at startup. Reason
  is that if the ndiswrapper module is loaded at boot, the main login
  screen no longer opens and I cannot login to the system. I need to
  boot into failsafe at the root level and blacklist ndiswrapper, then
  reboot the system.

  If the ndiswrapper module is loaded at boot, I cannot even use the GUI
  failsafe mode as no login scr...

Hi everybody,

thanks for feedback, indeed, as far as I'm concerned, this **** stick is now rotting out in a drawer, did anybody try it on another 64bit linux distribution than ubuntu? I don't remember which one, but It is said to work under another OS with a patch... (mint, suse?...)

Good luck folks!

cooper, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.
