Help me install wireless network card
I have loaded the driver (yes, the inf-file) for my wireless D-Link DWL G650 network card with ndiswrapper (version 1.2-r1).
When I type lspci my wireless card is not detected, just the other non-wireless card is detected. When I run lspci from the Gentoo boot CD then it detects the wireless card. I do have run modprobe ndiswrapper. Why does not my laptop detect the card? It worked in Ubuntu. I also discovered this: Code:
roxxor_laptop roxxor # ndiswrapper -l |
This is you too huh? :)
So you've already seen this? Have you hunted down possible open source drivers before messing with ndiswrapper. |
Yes, but then I used Ubuntu, now Im running Gentoo.
It took me 1 day to get the wireless card working in Ubunti. This is my third day in Gentoo without any wireless surfing. :cry: :cry: I have downloaded madwifi, ndiswrapper, drivers from D-Link homepage. But nothing works! My computer/Gentoo even doesn't detect the card: Code:
# lspci |

1. reseat the card. 2. check the syslog right after a boot for when it detects pci cards. 3. check your kernel... make sure everything that could be remotely anything to do with your card, wireless etc. is compiled in there. Ubuntu is much much easier that gentoo because it uses pre-compiled binary packages. I note, experienced gentoo users seem to have trouble with this card. Have fun. |
Ok, here I am again.
Ndiswrapper now says the driver is installed. But lspci still gives me the same output as above: Code:
# lspci iwconfig and ifconfig donīt give my any wireless extensions. :( How can I go on from here? |
