LM809, LM006, LM820 & LM821: Linux driver installation
There are three different drivers available for these products. We recommend that you use the ‘in kernel tree’ driver where possible, which essentially makes these products plug & play in most Linux distributions which use a recent version of the Kernel. Read more
Linux WiFi Ad-hoc mode
Ad-hoc, or IBSS mode allows you to create a wireless network without a central access point. This guide demonstrates a simple Ad-hoc network using one of our adapters and some basic tools found in most modern Linux distributions.
- At the present time, IBSS may suffer from high levels of packet loss due to an issue with the driver.
