I had the same problem,you need a compatible dongle that uses the RT73 or ZD1211B chipset,put a search on the net for suitable compatible dongles.I bought my D Link DWL-G122 dongle from MicroDirect in LEVENSHULME,opposite Mc Vities biscuit works on the A6.I see you are local so hope this helps.Cheers Chas.

hi radioham thanks for the info
i have worked out what was up i had to enable the rt73 driver in linux kernel

but missed citys first 3 goals in the process

for anyone who needs to do this this is how

setup......system.........settings......kernel modules....and then RT73 to yes

Hi,
I got TP-LINK WN422G chipset ZD1211B instead of 321G. Cannot find DM800 driver for ZD1211B. Tried RT73 but not success(of course but just try).
Any mates here can guide where to find?

Appreciate any form of help. Thanks

that chip set should be suported in your image try this
when you go system.........settings......kernel modules....and then
you will have 3 options say yes to the Zydas option and then re boot box when box is fully booted insert dongle and if it is reconised you should now have the wlan option in network settings

Hi and thanks for reply.

I have seen system--settings--kernel modules but no Zydas option for select. The problem I have is do I need to install this Zydas driver ipk and where to get for DM800HD version.

Thanks.
