I think your meant to use a 2.6 kernel with ndiswrapper. I've never tried it with a 2.4.

I upgraded my kernel and tried again:

Code:
# ndiswrapper -i /home/cokecan/wrlssdrvrs/netma401.inf
netma401 is already installed. Use -e to remove it
# ndiswrapper -m
Adding "alias wlan0 ndiswrapper" to /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper
# ifconfig wlan0 up
wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device

I am not so good with giving instructions but try this:

type

ndiswrapper -e netma401

then start over from the begining. make sure to watch for caps, linux is case sensitive.

I still get this:

Code:

# ifconfig wlan0 up
wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device

What do you get for

Code:
ls /lib/modules/2.6.8-2-686/misc/

COKE CAN 08-04-2005 11:22 PM
Code:
ndiswrapper.ko

Is the ndiswrapper module loaded?

Code:
lsmod
What type of card is it? pcimcia or usb? are the correct modules loaded? are you sure the card works with ndiswrapper?

I don't see ndiswrapper when I do lsmod. It's a psmcia netgear 802.11b card

You'll probably need pcmcia-cs

Code:
apt-get install pcmcia-cs
and maybe
Code:
apt-get install pciutils
then you should be able to
Code:
modprobe ndiswrapper
and do
Code:
ifconfig wlan0 up
