Fix...
I stumbled upon the same problem, and after some Googling, found this page: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu...per/+bug/59983
From the bits and pieces gathered from the discussion, I fixed the problem in the following steps: Code:
1. $ sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.8 [Install older version free of a bug (I think :D ) ] |
Thanks a lot, It worked perfectly. how do i set it so the module starts at startup?

/etc/modules..
First, open up /etc/modules:
Code:
$ sudo vi /etc/modules Code:
# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time. |
Thanks, It worked just fine. i see the wlan0 interface, but I cant connect to any ap I detect... i dont know why.
|
thanks... this worked for me...

I had a similar problem so I am using ndiswrapper-utils-1.8
with that I can load my driver, although to be exact it says "driver installed, hardware present" and not "driver present, hardware present" anyway when I do 'sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" nothing happens what am I missing ? :confused: Thanx in advance |
post the system logs
I solved everything by downloading ndiswrapper 2.9.... and voila! post everything and lets take it from there. |
here are the details
OK, I'm a newbie and I have just installed ubuntu 6.10 on AMD 64
The kernel is 2.6.17-10. In Network Administration the wireless card does not show at all. Note: on another disk on the same PC there's WindowsXP and the wi-fi works perfectly. Anyway I found the following: 1) Using lshw I see: -------------------------------------------------------------- *-network:0 UNCLAIMED description: Ethernet controller product: 88w8335 [Libertas] 802.11b/g Wireless vendor: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. physical id: c bus info: pci@00:0c.0 version: 03 width: 32 bits clock: 66MHz capabilities: bus_master cap_list resources: iomemory:fae00000-fae0ffff iomemory:fad00000-fad0ffff irq:10 -------------------------------------------------------------- 2) with 'lspci |grep 00:0c.0' I get : 00:0c.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88w8335 [Libertas] 802.11b/g Wireless (rev 03) 2b) I don't remember how I found it, but I found that the the pccid is 11ab:1faa (rev 03) 3) My wi-fi card is a low-cost Skintek card. The card is not listed in the ndiswrapper list page, but there's some others in the list which apparently are using the same chipset. Note: I'm not sure which driver is best - the one given with my card's CD, or the ones used by other cards with same chipset listed on ndiswrapper page ? Anyway I tried one of them with same results. 4) with 'iwconfig' I see : lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. sit0 no wireless extensions. 5) Using ndiswrapper I got exactly the same error as on top of this thread. So I moved to ndiswrapper-utils-1.8 and that problem was solved. With 'sudo ndiswrapper -i ~/Desktop/mrv8000c.inf' I see : Installing mrv8000c Forcing parameter AdhocGMode|1 to AdhocGMode|0 Forcing parameter AdhocGMode|1 to AdhocGMode|0 And then with 'ndiswrapper -l' I see: Installed drivers: mrv8000c driver installed, hardware present Note: the help page says it should be "driver present, hardware present". 6) 'sudo depmod -a' takes about 2-3 seconds and does not print anything 7) 'sudo modprobe ndiswrapper' returns instantly and does not print anything My main concerns are : a) not sure which driver is best (see 3 above) b) I feel I am missing something else other than the driver to activate the wireless card! :confused: Thanks a lot for your help |
1) can you post a ndiswrapper -v I had problem qith 1.8 and i updated.
2) can you post your system.log??? Alex |
sorry... where can I find the system.log ?
|
Assuming you are running under ubuntu go to top bar
System->administration->system log Identify the message you got after you did the modprobe. If you are no using ubuntu /var/log/messages Good hunting |
There is nothing in the system log after I try to remove/reinstall the driver with ndiswrapper + depmod + modprobe
The version is : $ 'ndiswrapper -v' utils Error: no version specified! driver version: 1.22 vermagic: 2.6.17-10-generic SM mod_unload gcc-4.1 |
erase everything and start from scratch...
download latest version, and we ll take it from there. |
