I've been trying to get ndiswrapper working with my D-Link DWL G122 usb dongle. I've had loads of help on other parts of this forum - see link below
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...5&pagenumber=1
so
please don't give me general ndiswrapper advice or point me to Google or WIKI pages - I've read them all!!
Anyway, I got ndiswrapper correctly installed, with correct drivers, but still it doesn't work. I'm trying to work out why but being a newbie, I need a little help. Plese can anyone tell me what the dmesg seen below means please:
So my ndiswrapper is all installed with correct drivers, but the D-Link light still doesn't light up and I can't get it to work.
Anyway, I did
modprobe ndiswrapper
and this sat thinking about it for a minute or two and then finished - but still didn't light up my D-link. I then did
dmesg
and got a very odd readout. This is what I don't understand.... (I am a newbie still!):
[root@localhost adrian]# dmesg

It continued to repeat the above message over 240 times and then finished with:

OK, so why didn't it work?
According to another thread, I'm using the correct drivers, and I have now tried with the XP drivers from the CD that came with the device AND with the drivers that I downloaded from the D-Link website.
I've reinstalled, rebooted, tried with 10.1 Community, upgraded to 10.1 Official, done everything, but still no luck.
What does the above dmesg output mean folks???
Thanks for looking!!!
