i am having problems installing my WPC-11v3,
i was able to insert the module however when doing a ndiswrapper -l, no hardware is found. the driver seems to be installed correctly though. im not sure what wrong

any help appreciated. thanks

Does it configure? Can you set it's ESSID as normal?

no its not iwconfig wlan0 give me "no such device"
i assume this means that my my wireless card isnt detected at all? (if it helps the PCMCIA seems to be working and the cards lights are on)

ive been working on this all night and cant figure out what to try next.

It's cool. Just try "iwconfig eth1".

Your wireless card's name is "eth1", not "wlan0"

That should make it work. Don't mind the missing "hardware found" message, it would seem that everything is working fine, as your wireless card is found at eth1, and it's wireless extensions are reporting.

Replace all the "wlan0"s you come accross with "eth1", and things should work okay.

Let me know.

awesome it works

thanks alot for all your help (and the howto)!!

No problem! Glad things are going smoothly!

sorry, but my english isn't very good and my exeprience is short.
i paste the result so that you understand my
#insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r´/misc/ndiswrapper.ko
>
and all stop here, if i go to other console and put iwconfig, it does not recognize anything. if i put ndiswraper -l my chip rtl8180 is present, and the driver also

what do you thing that is the problem??

again pardon by my ingles and thanks!

Your English is not bad. I will make my reply simple so it is easy to read.

go to "/lib/modules/" and see the directories there. There should be a directory named your kernel version. Your kernel version is the output of "uname -r".

If there is no directory with that name, then go in to each of them and open the "misc" directory, then look for ndiswrapper.ko

When you find it, use "insmod ndiswrapper.ko" to load the module.

If this does not work, then please post the output of "uname -r"

I'm sorry if I've offended you by writing simple sentences. I was trying to make it easier to read.

Best luck!

ok, thanks, this was easy for my to understand thanks. (when i did uname -r the result was 2.6.8-2-686)
now I did a #insmod ndiswrapper.ko in his dir, and the error said that i must see the log loadndisdrive
when i see it this was the message is:Chucky: /home/Ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper-1.2/utils# tail loadndisdriver

what this means?? that i should download the glib 686??? and the dir /home/drow don't exist,

thank's for everything and specially to try to help me in this fabulous operating system

PS: pardon by the wide one of the nonwise message but by where to cut it

I am sorry. This is too complicated for me. I do not know what that error message means. I have never seem one like it.

Have you made any big changes to your Linux after you installed it?

Maybe the kernel you are using is of the wrong CPU type?

What kind of CPU do you have?

no, i installed this SO last week

and the machine is a amd duron 1900+, and the motherboard is biostar(m7sua)

but i did't found the architecture for amd64
how do you think that i can solution this problem??

and thanks for everything again

The Duron is a i686, you do not need to change kernels.

I still do not know what the error message means.

I do not know what to do.

Worked like butta!

Thanks.

That's what I like to hear.

Glad it's working for people. (Well, most people.)

hello, well i could make to work the driver and the hard whit some change in /etc/wireless/interface and /etc/ndiswrapper/18...
