Did you modprobe? It will not automatically perform a modprobe on boot so you may need to do it again. BTW, you only need to make install, no make is required unless things have changed since ndiswrapper 0.12RC3

Yes I did modprobe. I don't know what is going on with it. I would love to get either my modem or wireless working since rebooting between experiments eats 10 minutes.
thanks for your help

regards
