Just as you say, Planex doesn't support this product in Linux. But, I have confirmed that this product worked in the following environment. This is short guide of "How to set up GW-USNano for XLink Kai on Ubuntu 12.04".
- PLANEX GW-USNano (Wireless Chipsets: Realtek RTL8188SU, VID:2019, PID:AB28)
- Ubuntu 12.04 i386 (3.2.0-24-generic-pae, 32-bit kernel)
- ndiswrapper 1.57
- Kaiengine for Linux 7.4.18
- MONSTER HUNTER PORTABLE 3rd
- PlayStation Portable (PSP-3000)
DISCLAIMER:
If you try any methods used on this guide you do so at your own risk.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Get the device information about GW-USNano:
Code: |
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 2019:ab28 PLANEX GW-USNano
|
Confirm native module for GW-USNano:
Code: |
lsmod | grep r8712u
|
List native module:
Code: |
modprobe -l | grep r8712u
|
Code: |
kernel/drivers/staging/rtl8712/r8712u.ko
|
After disabling an interface, unload native module for GW-USNano:
Code: |
sudo ifconfig wlan0 down
sudo modprobe -r r8712u
|
Add the following 1 line to module blacklist file:
Code: |
sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
|
Delete the following 2 lines from udev net rules file:
Code: |
sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
|
Code: |
# USB device 0x2019:0xab28 (usb)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:22:cf:32:db:27", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="wlan*", NAME="wlan0"
|
Install "ndiswrapper" package:
Code: |
sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 ndiswrapper-dkms
|
Add the following 1 line to modules file:
Code: |
sudo nano /etc/modules
|
Create alias directive:
Code: |
sudo ndiswrapper -m
|
Load ndiswrapper module:
Code: |
sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
|
Make sure it has loaded correctly:
Code: |
lsmod | grep ndiswrapper
|
Code: |
ndiswrapper 192268 0
|
Get more information about ndiswrapper module:
Code: |
modinfo ndiswrapper | head -10
|

...
|
Get the latest version of the Windows driver for GW-USNano (Realtek RTL8188SU) from Realtek' website:
Code: |
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/
|
Unzip the driver archive you have just downloaded (e.g. in your downloads directory):
Code: |
unzip RTL8188SU_AutoInstallPackage.zip
|
Find the Windows XP driver in the resulting directory:
Code: |
-rw-rw-r-- 1 USER USER 14333 Aug 19 2011 net8192su.cat
-rw-rw-r-- 1 USER USER 29687 Aug 11 2011 net8192su.inf
-rw-rw-r-- 1 USER USER 606440 Aug 11 2011 rtl8192su.sys
|
Install Windows XP driver to ndiswrapper:
Code: |
sudo ndiswrapper -i net8192su.inf
|
Make sure it has installed correctly:
Code: |
net8192su : driver installed
device (2019:AB28) present (alternate driver: r8712u)
|
Edit ndiswrapper configuration file for GW-USNano:
Code: |
sudo nano /etc/ndiswrapper/net8192su/2019:AB28.F.conf
|
Code: |
...
Channel|1 either 1, 6 or 11
...
PSPXlinkMode|1 1 is enable
...
|
Configure an interface to connect GW-USNano to PSP:
Code: |
sudo ifconfig wlan0 down
sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc
sudo iwconfig wlan0 channel 1
sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid PSP_AULJM05800_L_MHP3Q000
sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
|
Make sure it has configured correctly:
Code: |
sudo ifconfig wlan0
|
Code: |
wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:22:cf:32:db:27
inet addr:169.254.7.134 Bcast:169.254.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0

sudo iwconfig wlan0
|
Code: |

Configure the value of kaiAdapter in XLink Kai user configuration file:
Code: |
sudo nano kaiUserConfig.txt
|
Code: |
...
# Network adapter (!=autodetect)
kaiAdapter=wlan0
...
|
Known issues:
- In the case of ubuntu 12.04 amd64 (64-bit kernel), ndiswrapper and Windows 64-bit driver doesn't work. When ndiswrapper module loads Windows driver, Ubuntu hangs up. xD
- Cannot play SSID swapping games.
