Hi, here is my problem,
i've installed drivers to my wireless rtl8187b card, via ndiswrapper, my card works fine, It is connectin w/o any problems to unsecured networks, problem starts when i wanna to connect to my homehub <BT> it simply dont want to pass me.
any solutions??

thank you for any help.

What version of Mandriva? Is your network Wpa? Is it a usb card?

From what I'm seeing, rtl8187 drivers are included in recent kernels.

yes they are included but from some reason the doesnt want to work thtats why i decided ti use ndiswrapper, i am using WPA

Were you able to to connect to unsecured networks with the linux drivers?
If so, are you sure ndiswrapper is loading at boot time and not the linux drivers? You may need to blacklist the linux drivers in /etc/modprobe.conf. Mandriva is pretty good about managing drivers in this situation but you could be experiencing a glitch.

Ndiswrapper should certainly handle the wpa connection and this configures automatically with wpa_supplicant in Mandriva.

According to a quick search on the linux drivers, they should handle wpa. It could be that wpa-supplicant is not compatible with the kernel drivers and manual configuration would be necessary. More searching should clear this up. Hope this helps. I would assume you are using ifconfig, iwconfig, and ndiswrapper -l to check your settings.
