ndiswrapper problem

Hi everyone,
I'm having trouble with my dell truemobile 1300 wireless card on my laptop. For a while it was recognizing networks, but not allowing me to log onto them (using KWiFiManager, and Network Device Control), but now it is not recognizing that i have a ndiswrapper installed, let alone a wireless card.
When i try and activate it via network device control, it gives me the message: "ndiswrapper device wlan0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization."

I'm also having lots of trouble with my ethernet, but thats a whole different story / thread! Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
cheers

okay, problem solved, for some reason it was no longer loaded in modprobe

----------------------------------

Okay, just kidding. Everything worked well, it loaded my home page, so i posted that on my friends computer, but then when i tried loading anything other than google.ca it didnt work. I rebooted, and tried again, but its still not working.

iwconfig tells me this:

Code:

lo            no wireless extensions



wlan0      IEE802.11g ESSID:"AUTO"  Nickname:"localhost"

                Mode:Auto Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: F2:5A:xx:xx:xx:xx

                Bit Rate=54 Mb/s  Tx-Power:25 dBm

                RTS thr=2347 B  Fragment thr=2346 B

                Encryption key:off

                Power Management:off

                TX excessive retries:4  Invalid misc:22010 Missed beacon:0



eth0        no wireless extensions.



sit0          no wireless extensions.

If i try and activate the device via Network Device Control (which was working before i edited this post) it waits for a bit, and finally tells me:

"Determining IP information for wlan0...PING 192.xxx.0.1 (192.xxx.0.1) from 192.xxx.0.100 wlan0: 56(84) bytes of data.

--- 192.xxx.0.1 ping statistitcs ---

Do you have it configured for dhcp? I don't see an IP address assigned.

I had similar problems with my laptop, turned out to be a bad ndiswrapper version/driver combo.
