adm8211 is a Linux kernel driver for devices based on the ADMtek (now Infineon Technologies) ADM8211 802.11b wireless LAN chipset.

It was introduced at Linux 2.6.24. Supported devices are listed at the end of this page.

Installation

The adm8211 driver is included as a module in Debian Linux kernel images. No firmware from userspace is required.

  1. Install the wireless-tools package: 

    aptitude install wireless-tools

  2. If not already performed, connect the device to your system. The adm8211 kernel module is automatically loaded for supported devices.

  3. Verify your device has an available interface: 

    iwconfig

  4. 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 in Debian 2.6.32 (2.6.32-45) kernel images. 

  • PCI: 10B7:6000 3Com Corporation 3CRSHPW796 [OfficeConnect Wireless CardBus]
PCI: 1200:8201 CSS Corporation (Device name unknown)
