it should be
and about the other code, thats right
it should be
its easy man, passwords for wireless cards are usually 10 digit keys, if you got 64 bit encryption, if its 128, i don't remember how many...

anyways, if you put a password for the router, then you should probably know it,


i know you'll pull this off, slack is the best.

that's just if you encrypted your wireless network. if you left it open you don't need to do this.

alirhgt, this seems good, I think I can handle it

last question for now:
and this setup will work w/ like setting up my adapter, all I ahve is the router downstairs on main comptuer, and i have the wireless g adapaters upstairs in my room, I dont have wireliss card like you and that stuff
jsut the wireless adapter to the router downstairs, this setup will set that up right? thanks a lot for all the help I will hopefully be able to set it up now
yeah and I found the encrypted key for our network, it is in fact encrypted

you should have a wireless access point (AP) which is often a linksys router or something similar. then in each computer that you want to connect _with_ wirelessly, you need to have a wireless card (in laptops these are often pcmcia cards which slide in the side).

we're assuming that the access point is already set up (if it's already encrypted then this is probably a fair assumption), and these instructions will help you configure the wireless card in your laptop (or whichever computer you have a wireless card in).

ok, so i donwloaded ndiswrapper from this site http://sourceforge.net/projects/ndiswrapper/
not the prerelease, the 1.1 version
i put in a dir in C:/ on windows,
got on linux copied it as root to my home/ dir
i went in konsole to the correct dir, and tried to do ./configure but that did not work
it gave me the error that there is no such file or dir with that name, i looked through the dir and there iis clearly no configure file anywhere, there are makeFiles, so i tried just to do make, and then makefile, which worked, but im not sure if thats actually installed since I didnt do ./configure
i just tried to do the afterwards which didnt work so im not so sure it installed right

i tried doing in the dir where teh driver configure file is, not sure if thats right, but if anyone can help on installing ndiswrapper
thanks

EDIT: i also tried instead of ./configure to do ./INSTALL in the correct dir as I did see that file, just for the heck of it, but that didnt work eitehr, error: dont have permission to access file, and I was logged in as root

ignore the mandrake and red hat things they mention and just follow the wiki
http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/p...p/Installation

it really is a lot good

yeah i found it its really great, i installed ndiswrapper and it works great
but i suck at my wireless stuff and dont know which driver to get
i thought i got the right one, it was some sort of driver for my specific adapter, but it said that it was invalid when i did ndiswraper -i Wlan.ini

so i followed that wiki and it tells me to run command
to find card, (lol i dont know what wireless card I have) but there was so much stuff and I had no idea which is my wireless card, I see some pretty obvious stuff like firewire, and usb port stuff, but not sure whats the wireless card, I then need to run once i find that out

how do i do i know what wireless card I have? thanks

ive tried right clicking on my computer, properties, hardware tab, device manager and looking through there
also tried ipconfig /all in dos
i cant find it anywhere, doesnt look like I have one... but i have to have one since i installed this adapater up here for the router downstairs, but my dad says he never did install one, help?

after researchign some, it seems as I dont have a wireless card w/ my wireless network....
does it still work to setup this up with ndiswrapper, on the wiki tutorial it tells me that I needed to get a driver for my wireless card....
i found a driver for my adapater here: http://network.free-driver-download....0-Windows.html
but it was invalid according to ndiswrapper, thats the driver for the exact model of my adapter, any ideas?

well, i think you are going way too far on this one. here's the deal, ndiswrapper installs your wireless card with the inifile, but you also need the .sys file and another one i don't remember... don't forget about that.

the easiest way to do this is just install it on windows. what driver do you use for windows xp? then you can do the same with ndiswrapper. if you bought that card, then you probably have a cd with the drivers...

is it a pcmcia card? is it a pci card?

come on man, i know you can do it, just use your common sense.

you got aim or msn? would be a bit easier to talk on
