64-bit 802.11n adapter that works?

[lingenfr]

I tried my Linksys WUSB300N (Marvell Topdog-based), but no joy. Does anyone have an 802.11n adapter that works with 64-bit Intrepid or Hardy?

64-bit or not is really no issue with linux (drivers), as the code can be compiled for whatever architecture you want. Any adapter which works on 32-bit will work on 64-bit (except maybe some which use ndiswrapper, but even then it should work).

I'll risk incurring further wrath by noting that the USB bus is not "64-bit vs 32-bit". It's just USB. The attached USB device does not know the architecture of the OS that is running on the other side of the USB bus.

I think the real question is, is there a driver for this device, or not? I wish I knew, but I don't. :P

Spoken by someone who obviously has not tried many. I have yet to find one that can be recognized natively and very few offer 64-bit XP drivers that can be used with ndiswrapper. Please don't lead folks to believe it's no problem because it is. Either answer the questions with the specifics that were requested or please keep uninformed speculation to yourself.

do some research before you buy. 10 seconds with google gave me this page http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Dr...os11nsolutions

I've also got a TP-LINK TL-WN321G USB wireless adapter that works great.

Dibl, yes you are at the crux of the problem.

Krazy this:

"I've also got a TP-LINK TL-WN321G USB wireless adapter that works great."

would have been helpful were it not that the TL-WN321G is a Wireless-G adapter rather than a Wireless-N adapter. I assume you are trying to be helpful, so I will clarify, the problem is not to find an 802.11n adapter. The problem is not to find one that will work in linux. The problem is to find one that will work in 64-bit linux. I agree with you that the Atheros-based devices look promising although the link you provided does not even mention 64-bit. I also agree with you that if the source code is provided, you *SHOULD* be able to compile it and get it working. Again, have you done it. Yes, 10 minutes of googling will find 802.11n nics and maybe even linux-compatible. It won't find 64-bit, if it did, I would have found it. To restate the problem.

If you are or have run 64-bit *buntu and have successful used an 802.11n nic, please post the make, model and any specifics required to get it working. Was it recognized when you connected it? Are you running a linux driver? If you are using ndiswrapper, was a 64-bit XP driver included with the nic, if not, where did you find it. Thanks.
