Install TP-Link TL-WN422G USB di Ubuntu 10.04

Setelah lelah cari sana sini, dan tanya google tentang “Driver TP-Link di Linux, Driver TP-Link di Ubuntu, TP-Link TL-WN422G di Linux, USB TP-Link TL-WN422G di Ubuntu, Wifi eksternal di ubuntu, driver Wireles TP-Link TL-WN422G di Linux” dan pake keyword sejenisnya akhirnya berhasil juga ni masang si TP-Link TL-WN422G di Ubuntu 10.04.

Buat yang belum tau langsung aja begini carany :

Langkah pertama, langsung pasang di PC ubuntu. Hasil dmesg menunjukkan sbb:
[ 2862.296068] usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5
[ 2862.444951] usb 1-4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

Ternyata perangkat WLAN USB ini tak dikenali oleh Ubuntu 10.04. Hasil lsusb:
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0cf3:1006 Atheros Communications, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

Perangkat ini ternyata menggunakan chip atheros. Dari penjelajahan sebentar di internet tak ditemukan kasus yang berhasil memasang perangkat ini tanpa masalah di Ubuntu 9.xx dan 10.xx.
Rincian teknis perangkat WLAN USB ini sbb:
TP-Link TL-WN422G Ver: 2.0.
Langkah berikutnya, mencoba ndiswrapper, jadi perlu instalasi dulu dengan :

sudo apt-get install ndisgtk

Untuk lebih mudahnya lakukan installasi lewat software manager :P . Kemudian coba dijalankan dengan driver yang digunakan adalah untuk Windows 7 32 bit, Load driver windows yang akan digunakan.




Masuk terminal root dengan perintah ;
~$ sudo su

Cek Apakaah driver ndiswrapper sudah terpasang, dengan perintah :
~# ndiswrapper -l
netathur : driver installed

Mengkonfigurasikan driver yang ada dengan usb TP-Link TL-WN422G
~# ndiswrapper -a 0cf3:1006 netathur
WARNING: Driver 'netathur' will be used for '0CF3:1006'
This is safe _only_ if driver netathur is meant for chip in device 0CF3:1006

~# ndiswrapper -m
adding "alias wlan0 ndiswrapper" to /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper ...

~# ndiswrapper -mi

Jika anda tidak berhasil mengLoad driver windowsnya, berarti anda salah memilih driver. Biasanya driver yang paling cocok adalah driver di kaset bawaannya.


Semoga membantu…
