First i installed suse 9.1 it already comes with ndiswrapper i did as it said in the INSTALL and README file i rebooted and it worked everytime i reboot computer the driver auto loads and i get a blinking green light from the card and i can use the internet.
here is where the problem starts.
I switched to SLACKWARE 10, it doesn't come with ndiswrapper, i downloaded ver 0.8 i compiled it installed it.
make "no errors"
make install
then
ndiswrapper -i /tmp/drivers/NET8180.INF
ndiswrapper -l
"installed ndis drivers:
net8180 present"
modprob ndiswrapper
YEAH i get blinking green light
iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed
iwconfig wlan0 essid xxxxx "xxxxx is my routers essid"
YEAH it connected to the router now i got another light its yellow.
ifconfig wlan0 up
dhcpcd wlan0
it got new ip from the router and i can use the internet .
then:
like it says in the INSTALL file when you got everythig working do this
ndiswrapper -m
it wrote "alias wlan0 ndiswrapper" into /etc/modules.conf
and i rebooted the computer
Now everytime i reboot the computer during the boot when it checks for PCMCIA card NO Green light or yellow light and the driver "ndiswrapper" it doesn't load"
lsmod
NO ndiswrapper
I HAVE TO DO THIS EVERY TIMES I TURN ON THE COMPUTER
modprob ndiswrapper
iwconfig wlan0 mode managed
iwconfig wlan0 essid xxxxx
ifconfig wlan0 up
dhcpcd wlan0
