Installing the FRITZ!WLAN Stick under Ubuntu
After I heard today that AVM finally released a linux-driver for the FRITZ!WLAN USB-Stick, i did as a owner of such a stick the test. Actually the drivers are designed for openSUSE 10.2, but they say it works with Ubuntu as well. I wanted to test this and that's my result:
Note: I tried it with Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn but it should work with other Linux distributions that use a kernel >= 2.6 too.
After I downloaded the package from http://www.avm.de/files/cardware/fritzwlanusb.stick/linux/suse.10.2/ and extracted it with the command tar -xzvf fwlanusb-1.00.00.tar.gz, i changed with cd fritz into the new created directory.
Then I typed sudo ./install and after everything was compiled I plugged the stick into the USB port of my PC.
If you now take a look at the output of cat /var/log/messages, something like this should appear:
1 2 | Jul 7 13:25:46 lukas-desktop kernel: [244204.584018] usbcore: registered new interface driver fwlanusb
Jul 7 13:25:46 lukas-desktop kernel: [244204.584068] fwlanusb: Loaded.
|
Additionally you can check with the command lsmod|grep fwlanusb if the module was loaded correct.
Now the installation finished. My stick was identified as /dev/wlan0.
