David,

In reference to:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=285772

Before I do this let me ask a few questions...which driver did you use - the LSTINDS.inf or lsbcmnds?

When you placed those files on linux did you copy just those files or did you include other files as well?

And lastly - you used driverloaded vice ndiswrapper?

Sorry - remember newbie here...and a little wore out with this one...been at it for over a week - when time
permits....

thanks.

I don't have any suggestions of the above but don't these directions work at all:

Quote:

Card: Linksys WPC54G v2, 54Mbps -- link here
Chipset: Texas Instruments ACX 111
pciid: 104c:9066
Driver: Linksys ftp://ftp.linksys.com/pub/network/wp...lity_v2.02.zip
Other: linux-2.6.8-gentoo kernel, ndiswrapper 0.10.Kept having kernel panic (interrupt-related) upon module load until I set CONFIG_PCI_MSI=y (and unset CONFIG_4KSTACKS, just in case.) Also, used "ndiswrapper -i LSTINDS.INF" (NOT lsbcmnds.inf). Works with 64 and 128-bit WEP. Sometimes need to repeat config info (and commit) repeatedly, else driver & card will ignore requested setup. Also works with Gentoo 2.6.9-r9, ndiswrapper 0.12 and drivers that came from CD.

If they work there they should work for you as well. It also says which driver. And from the other thread I understand you used the GUI tools try to do that as little as possible since at times they simply give wrong info.

Works to the point that I have the driver loaded - but no power indications to the PCMCIA slot no matter what I do thus far.

What does lspci give you for input? Did you insert the ndiswrapper in your kernel with modprobe?

Sparks_ITCS · 02-15-2005, 11:03 PM

lspci:

00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corp. 430TX - 82439TX MTXC (rev 01)

and yes to the modprobe.

If you set the essid can you ping to the access point then?

Sparks_ITCS · 02-16-2005, 11:30 AM

No,
Where I'm stuck is there is no power indications to the Wireless Nic in the PCMCIA slot.
When I do a ndiswrapper -l is says driver present - nothing about hardware present. The
examples I have seen is that it is suppose to show both?

darkleaf · 02-16-2005, 01:56 PM

Are you using the latest ndiswrapper version?
