and a bunch more info here
but the rx packets are 0
the tx packets are 0
seems like it isnt working. this is on fc3, linksys g card. anyone have any ideas?
everything went smoothly installing it via the ndiswrapper directions on sourceforge.
im trying this with no wep or wpa...hopefully simplifying it.
What's your card specs? I think at this point you need to reinitialize the card (power cycle, pull it out/put it back in,eject/reinsert,etc) and rmmod the driver, and then modprobe it once you reinitialize the card. The see if iwconfig associates with your AP. If it does, just dhcpcd for an ip address.
ok, upon rebooting today i think i see what the problem is.
ndiswrapper -l
says device and driver are both present
iwconfig does not show the card, so it must not be detected. so later today i am going to remove the card i think. ndiswrapper -e willl not remove the driver, is there a way I can manunally do this to start over?
hm, i have actually since, removed everything, installed fc3 x86_64 instead of 32 bit version, and have no wireless whatsoever. ndiswrapper wont work, i may try madwifi.
