After 'make' I get this:

Holy shiznit!
Thats a boatload of error's
The first couple of lines indicate i'm missing a file.
Can anyone help??
I installed ndiswrapper with no compile error's.
also the win driver with no error's, but still
this card dosn't work.
When I reboot I get 'ndiswrapper device wlan0 does not seem to be
present', during network detection.
iwconfig gives me 'no wireless extensions'
I give up!! i treid for over 2 weeks to get this card
to work.
I'm just going to buy one that works out of the box.
Been checking out the Netgear wg511t, it's got a 9.0
rating in the HCL.
This SMC card is just crap.
It uses the adm8211 chipset.
Yes I followed that exactly.
The driver loads fine.
ndiswrapper -l: I get 'driver present'.
But I don't get 'hardware present'
When I do a reboot I get:
'ndiswrapper device wlan0 doesn't seem to be present'
During the network detection.
It's like FC4 dosen't power up the card.

Rep:
Could be the driver you used, did you use the Windows driver that came with your device or the one from the link already provided? It is recommend that you use the Windows driver from the known working ndiswrapper list (see the link already provided) and not the one that came with your device.
Do you maybe also have a Linux module also loading?
cat /proc/modules | grep 8211
Is the device known by the system and is the pccid 1317:8201 ?
/sbin/lsusb
The supplied FC4 kernels seem to be a problem with usb ethernet devices (don't know why) and vanilla kernels from kernel.org seem to work well.
I used the link provided to downlaod the driver.
it's a pcmica card not usb.
Havn't done a cat /proc/modules | grep 8211.
but will as soon as I swap in my linux HD.
Im on a thinpad 600x.

Rep:
I am so very sorry, I was based my answers on the usb version....
You need to locate and install the drivers for ndiswrapper, SMC should have the driver available in the downloads section. The file your looking for is AJ\DR_SMC2635W_DRUT10203.zip and the driver .inf files are;
Holy shiznet!!!!!!!!!
I've been using the wrong driver!!
It's not the adm8211, it's the rt2400.
Using ndiswrapper it's works fine.
Found a linux driver at sourceforge, gonna try that.
Do i have to unistall ndiswrapper??
I know I can remove the driver>> I think it's
'ndiswrapper -e Drivername.'
But do I have to completely remove ndiswrapper?
Oh yeah and stop the module from starting at boot too.

Rep:
OK, hey we all make mistakes!!
No you don't have to uninstall/remove ndiswrapper, just remove the /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper file and you can un-load the module by typing (as root); modprobe -r ndiswrapper
