ndiswrapper problem


Hi everyone,
I'm having trouble with my dell truemobile 1300 wireless card on my laptop. For a while it was recognizing networks, but not allowing me to log onto them (using KWiFiManager, and Network Device Control), but now it is not recognizing that i have a ndiswrapper installed, let alone a wireless card.
When i try and activate it via network device control, it gives me the message: "ndiswrapper device wlan0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization."

I'm also having lots of trouble with my ethernet, but thats a whole different story / thread! Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
cheers

solved!

okay, problem solved, for some reason it was no longer loaded in modprobe


----------------------------------


Okay, just kidding. Everything worked well, it loaded my home page, so i posted that on my friends computer, but then when i tried loading anything other than google.ca it didnt work. I rebooted, and tried again, but its still not working.

iwconfig tells me this:

Code:
lo             no wireless extensions

wlan0       IEE802.11g ESSID:"AUTO"  Nickname:"localhost"
                Mode:Auto Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: F2:5A:xx:xx:xx:xx
                Bit Rate=54 Mb/s  Tx-Power:25 dBm
                RTS thr=2347 B  Fragment thr=2346 B
                Encryption key:off
                Power Management:off
                Link Quality:100/100 Signal level:-57 dBm Noise level:-256 dBm
                RX invalid nwid:0  RX invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
                TX excessive retries:4  Invalid misc:22010 Missed beacon:0

eth0        no wireless extensions.

sit0          no wireless extensions.
If i try and activate the device via Network Device Control (which was working before i edited this post) it waits for a bit, and finally tells me:

"Determining IP information for wlan0...PING 192.xxx.0.1 (192.xxx.0.1) from 192.xxx.0.100 wlan0: 56(84) bytes of data.

--- 192.xxx.0.1 ping statistitcs ---

Do you have it configured for dhcp? I don't see an IP address assigned.

I had similar problems with my laptop, turned out to be a bad ndiswrapper version/driver combo.
