I have a laptop: Chembook N38N2-14 IT has a PIII 700 with 192mg ram and a 20g HD. I am running a DLink DWL-G650M wireless card and using a DLink router. I am using Ubuntu (Dapper) 6.06

My computer sees wlan0 and shows it as working. I am using ndiswrapper and it shows driver and software present. the router is DHCP configured (Have one Win desktop and three Win laptops running off it)

PROBLEM: I can't get to the internet, I can't ping the router (192.168.0.1)

My config shows no eth0 or eth1, only wlan0

I have been working in Linux for ages; about 1 week.

Help . . . please?

were yu able to properly configure your card coz new dlink cards are bsed on rt61 chipsets for these u need to have ralink device drivers.
so please first check out the chipset for the card yu are using.
if ur card is properly configured i am sure it would detect the router as well
check the output of the command:
iwlist wlan0 scanning
it should show yu the details of the router yu are using...
hope this may help yu

Thank you for the reply. I know my chipset was manufactured by atheros, if that helps. Also, in my device mgr it has atree that looks like this:

pci>unknown device>wlan

it recognizes the maunfacturer and chipset under "unknown device" but recognizes the driver on "wlan"

I am at work, so the terminology may be wrong, my computer is at home. But the description should be good.

Thanks,

I'd recommend using madwifi driver instead of ndiswrapper, especially for Atheros chipset !

Cool advice is here:

Thanks Michael,
I will be trying that this weekend, I found directions on uninstalling ndiswrapper. I will let you know how it goes.

Turns out it was a bad wireless card, bought a Belkin, works great.
