Okay, I have another Card -- WLG1101 Marvel Chipset that I have inserted in lieu of the Netgear. This doesn't seem to want to work with Mepis either. Here's some information . . .

lspci -v
l0000:06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88w8335 [Libertas] 802.11b/g Wireless (rev 03)

Ndiswrapper -l
mrv8k51 driver present, hardware present

does not show up iwconfig

Think this one can work?

mrv8k51 driver present, hardware present
is a good sign
Do you have Mepis 6.0?

You may want to try to set up in Mepis utilities - in 6.0 this is called "mutilities"
and is easiest to get to from root konsole

sometimes need to type
ndiswrapper -m
and reboot, then type
modprobe ndiswrapper

Also sometimes helps to use
ndiswrapper -e xxxxx
to remove drivers you are not using

No go Mdmarmer but thanks for the info on mutilities. Yes, I am using Mepis 6.0 -- I really like it except for not being able to
go wireless on it. Could you maybe suggest an out-of-the-box Mepis ready card? Thanks again!

In that case try to set up your Windows drivers -- you could do that on the other card too


ndiswrapper -e mrv8k51
(could also help to remove all the drivers, as none of them are working)
put all the Windows drivers in a folder -- you'll likely need .inf and .sys files from Windows drivers
navigate to that folder


ndiswrapper -i mrxxx.inf
(whatever the .inf file is called
ndiswrapper -l
(good response is driver present, hardware present)
iwconfig wlan0 channel yourchannel# essid youressid
dhclient wlan0

(assumes unencrypted -- add encryption later)

one of the cards should work

Mike

Thanks but wlan0 "not found" "no such device" Same for eth1

mdmarmer -- the Generic WLG1101 card with the Marvel Chipset is working! After trying everything you and others suggested and AFTER REBOOTING the card started working. I don't know how or why but it does. Thanks a million!
