ADMtek ADM8211 devices
This page describes how to enable support for WiFi devices based on the ADM8211 chipset on Debian systems.
Contents
adm8211 is a module for the ADMtek (now Infineon Technologies) ADM8211 802.11b wireless LAN chipset. Supported devices are listed at the end of this page.
Installation
The adm8211 driver is included in the mainline kernel since 2.6.24. It is included as a module in Debian kernel images.
Lenny
Using Etch? Skip to the Etch section.
Install the wireless-tools packages:
aptitude update aptitude install wireless-tools
- If not already performed, connect the device to your system.
The necessary kernel module should be automatically loaded. If necessary, it can be manually loaded via:
modprobe adm8211
Verify your device has an available interface:
iwconfig
Raise the interface to activate the radio, for example:
ifconfig wlan0 up
Configure your wireless interface as appropriate.
Etch with 2.6.18 kernel
This driver is not present in the stock 2.6.18 kernel.
Install an EtchAndAHalf kernel image (apt-cache search linux-image-2.6.24-etchnhalf and install a package appropriate for your system), restart your system to boot using this kernel, then follow the Etch with 2.6.24 kernel procedure below.
Etch with 2.6.24 kernel
This driver is not present in the stock 2.6.18 kernel.
Install an EtchAndAHalf kernel: apt-cache search linux-image-2.6.24-etchnhalf and install a package appropriate for your system.
- Restart your system with this kernel before continuing.
Install the etch/wireless-tools package:
aptitude update aptitude install wireless-tools
- If not already performed, connect the device to your system.
The necessary kernel module should be automatically loaded. If necessary, it can be manually loaded via:
modprobe adm8211
Verify your device has an available interface:
iwconfig
Raise the interface to activate the radio, for example:
ifconfig wlan0 up
Configure your wireless interface as appropriate.
Supported Devices
The page HowToIdentifyADevice/PCI explains how to identify a PCI device.
The following list is based on the alias fields of modinfo adm8211 on Lenny.
PCI: 10B7:6000 3Com Corporation 3CRSHPW796 [OfficeConnect Wireless CardBus] PCI: 1200:8201 CSS Corporation (Device name unknown) PCI: 1317:8201 ADMtek ADM8211 802.11b Wireless Interface PCI: 1317:8211 ADMtek ADM8211 802.11b Wireless Interface
