Please help me. I have spent several days on this.

when i do IWLIST SCANNING
i get INTERFACE DOESNT SUPPORT SCANNING

when i do IWCONFIG
i get NO WIRELESS EXTENSIONS

I already did the NDISWRAPPER thing. when i do NDISWRAPPER -L this comes out:

athfmwdl driver installed, hardware present
netgw11t driver installed

but suddently NDISWRAPPER -l does not worrrk!!! it freezes the terminal. if i go ndiswrapper it does work but when i add the -l it freezes the terminal.

also, if i go APPLICATIONS > NETWORK, nothing comes out!!! why did this happened?

I have already restarted numerous times.

what am i supposed to do now? please help.

Have you checked your dmesg to make sure there wasn't some kind of error when the ndiswrapper kernel modules were loaded?
