Hi,

after some struggle to receive a package sent from the netherlands
to germany I just received my UWN200 WLAN dongle/antenna thingie.

I already compiled the driver an loaded it, which works (at least for
me as a newbie to WLAN).
dmesg shows:

Before digging deeper into this topic I would like to do a quick
check, whether the hardware seems to work (just in case or warranty).

For example:
Is there a way to list the names (no illegal actions are intended!!!)
of the WLANs around me without doing the whole WLAN configuration
stuff?

Or any othe quick check which sends/receive some data somewhere?

Thank you very much in advance for any help!
Best regards,
mcc

Have you visited (inspire.logicsupply.com) http://inspire.logicsupply.com/p/tutorials_3943.html and the WiFi installation guide?

Hi Richard,

jepp...
The offered kernel driver is for kernel 2.6.* and compiles
with errors under 3.8.13-bone66.
lsusb hangs, when it lists the according entry
ifconfig shows only the half of ra0

To give feedback to logic supply (from where I ordered the
UWN200) as soon as possible I dont want to step through
a full Wifi/Wlan configuration session.

I only want to proof that the UWN200 is working ok as soon as
possible.
If done I have either to send it back (warranty) or I have enough
time for a reasonable setup.

Is there any driver source, which compiles cleanly and is of this
century?

Best regards,
mcc

The BeagleBone Black Rev C (Debian) comes with pre-installed drivers for the UWN100/200.

I am not that mainstream... :wink:

I am using Gentoo...so everything must be compiled manually...

Here's the src i'm using for the debian/ubuntu kernel.
